As the temperature starts to rise and thoughts of sunny days & flip-flops become more palpable, Las Iguanas welcomes you to try their new Spring menu. Celebrating 25 years of bringing fresh Latin food to the UK, Las Iguanas are launching an exciting selection of delicious Latin America dishes that are guaranteed to bring vibrant flavours to your plate. The new menu includes a whole range of brand new starters, mains, desserts and most importantly… cocktails!
A popular bar snack across Brazil & new to the tapas menu is Dadinhos – crispy cubes of smoked cheese served with a sticky chilli jam. Complete the Carioca bar experience with an ice cold beer & a portion of new Pão de queijo (cheesy bread) or Cassava Fries.
Foodies will love the Ceviche – a Peruvian classic. Raw strips of sustainable white fish are ‘cooked’ in a Tiger’s Milk dressing of lime, ginger & Amarillo chilli. Piled high with carrots, pink pickled onion, pepper drops, coriander and sweet potato crisps, this dish is super healthy & exceptionally tasty!
The new Havana Club & Jerk BBQ Glazed Pork Ribs bring a taste of Cuba & the Caribbean; mouth wateringly good, fall off the bone pork ribs covered in a sticky rum glaze, topped with crispy onion and chilli which will leave you with a messy face and fingers but oh so satisfied.
There’s also a lively new choice of Seafood on the menu. The Moqueca de Peixe – a favourite in Northeast Brazil consists of peeled prawns and white fish in a creamy coconut, tomato and lime sauce whilst the Sea Bass is presented in a light lime and achiote marinade on a bed of roast potato mash, chargrilled asparagus and a piquante pepper dressing.
The already unforgettable Chilli con Carne has had a refresh with rich chunky beef, black beans, spring onions, jalapenos and corn bread. Add an amazing additional twist to this Mexican classic by choosing a mild, medium or hot spiced butter to melt into your chilli.
Can you imagine anything better than a cocktail flavoured jelly for desert? We can’t! Las Iguanas have introduced the new vegan-friendly Mojito Jelly with Lemon and Lime sorbet to round off your Latin American feast nicely.
Talking of cocktails, choose from a sensational seven new creations to help Las Iguanas celebrate this year’s milestone; their 25th birthday! Sample the Passion Fruit Batida; Magnifica cachaça, condensed milk, coconut water and passion fruit puree guaranteed to leave you with that “just stepped off the beach” feeling. Why stop at one? It’s a birthday celebration after all, so treat yourself to a Tijuana Tipple, the perfect combination of tequila, guava puree, chilli, lime and Freixenet cava or the Pisco Power which combines pisco with guava puree, agave, apple and lime juice…blissful.
So, this spring, from 15th March, head down to Las Iguanas and join the fiesta for fresh, exciting and delicious food and a diverse selection of creative cocktails that will transport you to the beaches of South America (minus the airfare).
