Tapas are Spanish canapés or finger food. These snacks are usually served hot in a small clay dish covered in a sauce and eaten using a cocktail stick. Tapas can be made from anything from and there are plenty of Tapas recipies on the net. Tapas were thought to have acquired their name from the word tapa, which means 'cover' in Spanish.

∙ 13y agoRather than one particular dish, "tapas" is a term that refers to an appetizer, or finger food, served on little dishes, for the purpose of having a small taste of an incredibly memorable and tasty tidbit. There are many books on Spanish Tapas, with many different recipes. One of my favorites is very easy to make:
Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless. (about 12)
Cut into 1 inch cubes.
1/4" water in pan.
Bring to boil, then simmer on very low in a mixture of
1/3 cup honey, 1 T salt, fresh minced garlic
Until water is gone, and chicken is done (45-60 minutes) and pieces are dark and glossy.
Serve with toothpicks, dipping sauce, of your choice.
