Omg how did I never hear of this sauce before now?? Go and make it now, you won’t regret it. Will be up on Azahar’s Kitchen soon but for now…
1. Peel the garlic, chop it, and crush it in a mortar with a little black pepper.
2. Add the drained anchovies (reserving the oil) and continue pounding until you have a paste.
3. Blanch and peel the tomato, remove the seeds and water, dice it, and add it. Place it in the mortar and pound for a couple more minutes.
4. Add a little extra virgin olive oil to the anchovy oil in the tin until you have about four tablespoons. Add it little by little, blending to emulsify.

Look what came today! Been looking forward to this, the companion book to my friend Sarah Jane Evans MW‘s The Wines of Norther Spain. I even get a nice mention for advising Sarah Jane (ever so slightly) about Sevilla wines, still very much unheard of, even here. Excellent timing to help with research I’m presently doing for a couple of Bitesize Sevilla articles as well as an upcoming travel piece for Decanter.
Things are hopping down here in the south. As Sarah Jane says in her book, if she had written the chapter on Andaculía ten years ago it would have been very different. Exciting times. Also nice to see so many people I’ve come to know over the years mentioned in the book. Worth taking a look.
