Chef’s Suggestion
*Tips and variations: Though thinner sauces work best, all manner of red sauces from tomatoes, peppers or other roasted vegetables change the style of this dish according to your theme. To keep it Spanish, try Tomato fresco, Pequillo, Sofrito, Mojo Bravo, Tomate Frito or Romesco. Most Mediterranean, Italian and mild Mexican sauces work as well.
For larger crowds, use three Crottin bunched together in center of a large oven-proof dish and 2-3 cups sauce.
