Spiced Mussels in Pickled Sauce, Ati Manel, Spain
Made in Galicia in the old way, the sauce is a spicy twist on a classic escabeche, a medley of oil, vinegar, and pepper that predates modern Spain and harkens to a time when southern Iberia was part of the Islamic Empire called Al-Andalus (which became the name Andalusia). It is bursting with tradition and flavor.
