Tapas Party

Spain is bringing some familar faces and some up-and-coming wonderkids to Russia this year. And here you'll find a reliable cast of characters in croquetas, patatas bravas, red wine chorizo and tangy asparagus.

Having celebrated 2010 in Spain, Coach recommends having a pitcher of sangria on hand for this meal. Cook one or all of these dishes to show your support for La Furia Roja as they try for another World Cup win. You will need a cooking thermometer for this recipe.
