Get lost in this sauce
Most of the time when I’m cooking, it’s within the Spanish tradition. I’m always thinking about what I have access to that the mothers and grandmothers of fascist Spain didn’t and how I can build off those classic techniques. There’s a freedom in knowing a base recipe by heart and then using it to express something more personal.
This almond butter sauce is an example of that; it’s the perfect base to riff on. Loosely Spanish-inspired, it calls on a technique calledused to thicken sauces and soups: a combination of nuts, breadcrumbs, or a mix of the two. When you blend that with sofrito you get a sauce. But, honestly, it’s as much hippie cuisine as anything else.
I find the simplicity of this sauce to be so honest and satisfying. It’s become a big part of my general strategy in getting dinner on the table for my family, served with a hot protein and fresh vegetables and tweaked as needed.
