Instructions

Make the bravas sauce: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden at the edges and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes — watch closely so it doesn't burn.

Add the crushed tomatoes, smoked paprika, hot smoked paprika, sherry vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and deepened in color, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) and blend until smooth. Set aside.
