Description
Xoubas is the Galician word for small sardines, the sardinillas that fishermen bring in along the Atlantic coast of Galicia. Ramón Peña tins them with Pimiento de Padrón, the little green pepper that is the great symbol of Galician tapas. It is a regional pairing that has been on Galician tables for a long time: oily fish and a fresh, slightly vegetal pepper.
The sardinillas are tender and savory. The pepper adds a fresh, green note and a touch of bitterness that lifts the richness of the fish. Padrón peppers are known for being mild, with the occasional surprise, so check the label if heat matters to you. The tin is a step up from the plain sardinillas for people who like their conservas with a little personality.
How to serve. Serve at room temperature straight from the tin, with the pepper. Spoon the xoubas over toasted bread, or mash them with a little of the tin’s contents into a quick spread. Good with boiled potatoes, hard-boiled egg and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Storage. Keep the unopened tin in a cool, dry pantry at room temperature. Once opened, transfer the contents to a covered glass container, refrigerate and eat within 2 days.
Pairing. Albariño or another crisp Galician white, dry cider or a cold beer. On the table add bread, olives and sliced tomato.
