Our friend Patrick Matas of Ole and Obrigado Imports serves it as his Mother would…poured around a beautiful ceviche of shrimp in the center of the bowl!!
Wine pairing: This is one of those wonderful dishes that loves the odd wine. Try an Andalucian bottling of the Palomino grape, not Sherry, but now made as a lovely wine for the table.
