Chef's Note

This tapas was created by Mauro Colagreco to accompany the Ricardito, the official cocktail of the summer Grand Fooding®. "It had to be based on fish and Mediterranean vegetables," said the chef of the Mirazur, "because, to me, Ricard and the sea are inseparable."

These tapas are very easy to make. The dried tomatoes and grilled peppers can be prepared in advance.

Ingredients
For 4 servings

- 4 anchovy fillets in oil
- 1 red pepper
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- olive oil
- 250 g (9 oz.) arugula

  1. Blanch the arugula in salted water.
  2. Mix in a blender until very smooth, gradually adding the olive oil to emulsify.

Confit pepper

  2. Finish cooking for 20 minutes in an 80° C (175° F) oven for 20 minutes; cut into strips.

Half-dried tomato

  1. Blanch and peel the tomatoes, quarter them, remove the core, place on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
  2. Add the aromatic herbs, dry in a 90° C (180° F) oven for 2-3 hours and cut into strips.

Crostini and presentation
