Patatas Bravas
Serves 4

These are glorified roasted potatoes and while you can fry them I find cranking your oven up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and then cutting baby potatoes in half, place the cut side on a well oil sheet tray, created a similar texture - without all the oil! Serve with traditional romesco (see below) or my alma mater’s store-bought version, from Haven’s Kitchen.

Potatoes:

2 lb. baby potatoes, halved
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt

Romesco:

1 red pepper, whole
3-4 tomatillos, husks removed
2-3 shallots, skin on
2 cup day old bread
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
1 bunch cilantro
2-3 scallions
3-4 gloves garlic, skin on
1/4 cup pepitas
1 jar roasted red peppers, drained
3-4 limes, juiced

Preheat broiler to high, add red pepper, tomatillos, shallots and bread to the pan and dress well with olive oil and salt. Broil until very charred. Add cilantro, scallions, garlic and pepitas. Broil, charring for another 5 minutes. Remove and cool slightly.

In a blender add all items you roasted along with the jar of roasted red peppers, lime juice and salt. Blend, adding olive oil (and water!) until loosen as you desire.

Leather Mules // $149

I've been a huge fan of Soludos for as long as I can remember. I started wearing these in the kitchen as a means to feel more myself (i.e. girly and fun) and given that their logos/styles often reflect food and beverage - it was a match made in heaven. These mules were part of our collaborative dinner ASHA and I threw in September 2019.

Baking Sheet // $20

These baking sheets are simple, easy, economical and work for cooking anything. I recommend buying a few.

Red Pepper Romesco // $7

As a founder member of the NYC-based event space Haven's Kitchen, I'm proud to support their growing line of sauces. They're ideal for when you're short on time or simply don't feel like whipping out your blender to make homemade romesco sauce.
