Bravas Sauce Recipe (Salsa Brava)

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika (pimentón picante)

1 1/2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika (pimentón dulce)

1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

salt (to taste)

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the hot and sweet smoked paprika and stir until combined.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until combined. Keep stirring for about a minute to toast the flour slightly.

Over a medium-low heat, add the broth very gradually, stirring constantly. The flour will absorb the liquid and leave you with a delicious sauce.

The sauce should start to thicken as you incorporate the broth; add more flour only if necessary to achieve the right consistency. It should be velvety and smooth, but not so thick that it holds its shape alone.

Reduce to low heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste.

Drizzle over some fried potatoes and enjoy!
