    Hey Guys! Today we have another great picnic sandwich for you, Bocadillo Bites! Bocadillo are Spanish style sandwiches served on a crusty baguette. They’re usually pretty basic sandwiches that can be filled with anything from omelets to cold cuts to sweets.

    I had this particular type of Bocadillo in Spain years ago although I think the peppers were different. I remember looking at the sandwich with lack luster thoughts, wishing I had some mustard and mayonnaise to slather between layers of what seemed to be a dry and sad looking sandwich. I was so wrong and pleasantly surprised! The uber simple sandwich was delicious, full of flavor and perfectly filling. For something so simple it was perfectly balanced.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see it on the menu of one of my favorite, local (Southbay) restaurants, Abigaile. If you like Manhattan Beach Post I highly recommend Abigaile. The food is wonderful; from their hamachi sashimi to their roasted bone marrow, and even bocadillo bites. :) I also love that they brew their own craft beer and serve super delicious scratch cocktails. When I ordered the bocadillo bites it took me right back to a hot August afternoon in Barcelona, at the beach with my family playing games and munching on this tasty treat.

    Our version is super simple and doesn’t really require a proper recipe, but we’ve given you one anyway just as a reference. This sandwich packs up and holds extremely well, making it perfect for picnics or on the go lunches. Enjoy! xx, Jenny

      Los Bocadillos era deliciosos. Hoy, hice para mi clase para un proyecto y yo presenté la receta en frente a la clase. Disfrutan mucho. Ahora, quiero hacer para mi familia. Mi parte favorita era el pan con el aceite y las pimientas. Gracias mucho por la buena receta.

      The peppers you probably tasted in Spain are “pimientos del piquillo”.

      Congratulations for this wonderful page!!

      Lovelove these bocadillo sandwiches! They remind me of hot summer afternoons in Spain as well- and I go for just about anything with a roasted pepper.

      What a perfect picnic sandwich. I imagine the flavors get better and seep into the crusty baguette while sitting in the picnic basket. How wonderful!
