Although not much of a beer drinker, I really enjoyed the Alhambra Reserva 1925. Crisp, premium and really full bodied flavour. It was actually quite elegant. It was also refreshing to drink something traditional and not from the neue craft beer genre with zany labels and pumped up social media feeds. Anyway, I loved it and you can try it too by winning a heritage set of Alhambra Reserva 1925 beer yourself - see the end of post for details.



Papas Arrugadas with Mojo sauces

For the potatoes
500g small new potatoes, skin scrubbed
about 30g sea salt
1 litre water

For the Red Mojo Picon
150ml neutral tasting oil
1 large red pepper, deseeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 fresh, hot red chilli
50ml white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of saffron

For the Mojo Verde
150ml neutral tasting oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled
50ml white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
40g fresh coriander

Method

Preheat the oven to 150C.

Put the potatoes into a pan with the salt and water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain off any excess water and allow to steam dry slightly.

Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until the skins have started to wrinkle and the potatoes get a slightly crystallised coating from the salted cooking water.

To make the sauces, just place all of the ingredients into a processor and process until a sauce has formed. Do this for each version.
