Famous Spanish Tapa “Gilda”
In the 1940’s, Spain went crazy for Hollywood bombshell, Rita Hayward, and created a special pintxo, or tapa, called the GILDA.
This sassy, spicy tapa was created in 1949 following the movie of the same name that created a worldwide sensation, starring Rita Hayworth as an American hottie in Argentina. It’s fun, it’s fast and it’s full of flavor. You won’t believe how easy it is to put together for tapas parties or last minute guests.
