Mediterranean Sauce

Can’t wait to show you this universal and easy to prepare sauce recipe. Ideal for fish and other seafood, baked or grilled. I have the recipe from my friends at Kiosko Universal in Barcelona’s central market, which we accidentally stumbled upon while roaming the streets in hunger mode one afternoon. The restaurant is more than 40 years old, passed from father to son. If you are in town do not be discouraged by the line, wait times could top 30 minutes, the food is incredible. Anyway, back to our featured recipe…
