An easy recipe for Salsa Brava – the classic Spanish bravas sauce. It is perfect on a portion of Patatas Bravas, or as a dip or topping for chicken, fish and the like.
Try serving it with a portion of Gambas al Ajillo too – it is lovely for dipping crisp slices of bread into.
Bravas sauce – or Salsa Brava – can easily be made ahead and kept in the fridge. It keeps well for 4-5 days and just needs warming through before serving. It can also be served cold – personally, though, I think it tastes best warm.
