La Curiosa Small Sardines in Brava Sauce
$19.99
Shake up your aperitif with small sardines in Brava sauce from the Galician house La Curiosa. Famous for its modern approach and uncompromising standards, the brand elevates traditional Galician sardinillas with a spicy touch inspired by the famous Spanish patatas bravas sauce.
Caught exclusively during the summer season (when the fish is most flavorful), these miniature sardines are manually cleaned, gutted, and prepared one by one with jeweler's precision. They are then delicately grilled, and topped with a homemade artisanal Brava sauce. A bold marriage where the sweetness of tomato and the fruitiness of olive oil meet the kick of a carefully selected chili to awaken the taste buds with elegance.

- Back to basics: Serve them on homemade pan-fried potatoes for a textured and ultra-gourmet thematic pairing.
- Characterful tapas: Placed on a slice of toasted country bread or a piece of focaccia, drizzled with their Brava sauce.

- Food and wine pairing: A young, fluid, and fruity Spanish red wine, such as a Mencía from the Ribeira Sacra or Bierzo regions (Galicia). Its crisp red fruit notes and very soft tannins ideally complement the kick of the spicy tomato sauce without creating bitterness with the fish, or a Rueda Verdejo (Spain) or a dry Riesling. Their straightforward structure, fruity character, and taut freshness act as an ideal palate cleanser. They tame the heat of the Brava sauce while preserving the marine aspect of the sardinilla.
- To quench your thirst: A craft IPA (India Pale Ale) beer. The frank bitterness and citrus notes brought by the hops masterfully respond to the spiciness of the sauce and instantly cleanse the palate.
