If there is one thing that the countries of Spain and Portugal know how to do well, it’s making a good sauce. The flavorful sauces that come from these two Iberian countries are known worldwide for their delicious taste and the spice that they add to boring dishes like french fries and grilled chicken.
Here are three Iberian-inspired sauces that you should try for yourself.
Brava Sauce
Spaniards are obsessed with brava sauce, which is commonly served as a french fry or fried potato topping. This spicy tomato sauce is made with tomato, hot paprika, red pepper and is often paired up with aioli.
Piri Piri
Portugal’s most famous sauce is piri piri, which is often served doused on top of chargrilled chicken. Spicy and pungent, piri piri sauce is made with hot red peppers and also contains garlic.
Green Mojo
The Canary Islands off the coast of Africa belong to Spain, and they have come up with one of the country’s most popular sauces. Green mojo is often served as an accompaniment to meat or potatoes and contains olive oil, cilantro, and green pepper, among other ingredients.
