This version inspired by the great Alberto Chicote stands out for not having a single drop of tomato, remaining faithful to the tradition of the best taverns in Madrid. The color and body are achieved thanks to an impeccable base of well-poached red onion, a good broth and the master touch of paprika.
Since it comes out in a generous amount, it is the ideal option to always have ready in portions. Any improvised appetizer will save you: you just have to fry some very crispy potatoes, water them with this wonder and enjoy a spicy dish with character but balanced.

Alberto Chicote Style Brava Sauce with Thermomix
🫒 230 g extra virgin olive oil
🧄 100 g peeled garlic
🌶️ 20 seedless chillies
🧅 400 g red onion, quartered
🌾 10 g flour
🫑 5 g sweet paprika
🔥 5 g hot paprika
🥂 100 g white wine
🍲 1000 g ham or cooked broth
🧂 Salt to taste
We put the garlic and chillies in the glass. We chop for 4 seconds at speed 5. We lower the remains from the walls with the spatula.
Add the extra virgin olive oil and fry for 10 minutes at 120°C, spoon speed, without a beaker to promote evaporation.
Add the red onion and chop for 5 seconds at speed 5. Sauté for 15 minutes at 120°C, speed 1. If it is not browned well, add 5 more minutes.
We add the flour, the sweet paprika and the hot paprika. Sauté for 3 minutes at 100°C, speed 1, making sure the paprika does not burn.
We pour the white wine and program 2 minutes at Varoma temperature, speed 1, without a beaker to completely evaporate the alcohol.
We add the ham or cooked broth. We program 30 minutes at 100°C, speed 1. We place the basket on the lid instead of the beaker to avoid splashes.
We wait about 5 minutes for the temperature to drop slightly. Blend for 1 minute at progressive speed 5-10, gradually increasing the speed.
We pass the sauce through a fine strainer, pressing well to take advantage of all the flavor. We return the sauce to the glass, taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
We program 2 minutes at 100°C, speed 1 so that it boils again and is ready to serve or preserve.
