Espinaler Scallops In Galician

A true taste of Spain, these variegated scallops come bathed in a sauce of sweet onion, tomato, and spices, with a dash of red wine.

Inspired by traditional Galician street food, where fresh seafood is quickly tossed in a simple, flavorful sauce, cracking this tin at home (especially if you’ve gently heated it up) will transport you and your guests to the cobblestone towns from where these beauties hail.

Like most conservas presented in sauce, you can’t go wrong marrying this with a generous hunk of crusty bread. That said, we also recommend tossing the contents with orecchiette and finishing it all with a healthy dusting of ricotta salata.
