History and origin
Roasted sweet potato, sun-dried tomato and pimentón blended into a nuanced spread
Sobrasada de boniato is made in-house from roasted sweet potato, olive oil, sun-dried tomato, pimentón, parsley, pepper, cumin, lemon juice and cashews. The blend is smooth and red, combining natural sweetness, a gentle smoky note and citrus freshness.
Hierbabuena serves it on generous tostadas that may be finished with rocket, turkey and fresh cheese. Those additions are optional: the spread also stands on its own over well-toasted bread. It is a contemporary creation from Almería city, neither a meat sobrasada nor an old traditional recipe.
