A spicy red sauce that gives your papas tapas a nice kick and makes it taste even better. It might look like a complicated sauce but believe me it is not. Want to learn how you can make bravas sauce at home? Let’s get started!

How To Make Brava Sauce

1. So how do you make this great salsa sauce? Start with preheating a small saucepan with olive oil over medium heat.
2. Take a small mixing bowl and add the flour with the sweet paprika powder, the smokey paprika, and salt. Combine thoroughly using a spoon.
3. Be sure the ingredients are properly combined. Reduce heat and add 1 teaspoon of the flour mix to the oil and stir.
4. The flour will sizzle in the oil. Continue adding a teaspoon at a time and whisk until all the flour mix is added to the saucepan.
5. You will get an orange color sauce. Take the vegetable broth and slowly add it to the sauce while you keep whisking the sauce.
6. Add about ¾ of the vegetable broth. Your sauce will thicken so keep on whisking. When the sauce is too thick add a bit more vegetable broth or water.
7. Leave the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes to warm it through but do not boil the sauce.
8. Your brava salsa is ready to serve with your patatas bravas.
9. Serve it alongside some aioli.

Classic Tapas Sauce Recipe

You can eat these classic tapas with a brava salsa made with tomato or without. Today I’m sharing the sauce that is without the tomato.

Tomato-based salsa brava is eaten in the northwest of Spain. Bravas sauce without tomato is generally eaten in the south of Spain in Andalusia or the northeast of Spain like Catalonia.

Today we are showing you how to make a bravas sauce without tomato.

Serve Brava Sauce With

Traditionally brava sauce is eaten with patatas bravas but you can also eat it with:

• Spanish tortilla – besides patatas bravas you can eat this sauce with Spanish tortilla and make it a tortilla brava
• Mexican street fries – traditionally brava sauce is used on patatas or tortilla brava but why waste a good sauce? Use it with these street fries
• Mexican potatoes – the same applies to Mexican potatoes you can enjoy them with some brava salsa as well

How To Store Brava Sauce

Brava sauce is best eaten fresh and warm. You can store it in the fridge for about a day. Be sure to cover the sauce or put it in a container.
