Maruxaina Scallops in Galician Sauce

Description

Maruxaina Scallops in Galician Sauce draws on one of Galicia’s most iconic seafood traditions, inspired by vieiras a la gallega—a historic dish closely linked to Santiago de Compostela and the Camino de Santiago, where scallops have long symbolised the region’s coastal heritage.

Galician sauce is a classic, flavourful sofrito made from tomatoes, onions, olive oil, and paprika, giving it a gentle warmth and subtle smokiness. Designed to complement rather than overpower, it balances sweetness and acidity to enhance the natural flavour of the seafood.

Here, tender scallops are carefully prepared, hand-packed, and coated in this rich, savoury sauce. The result is a well-balanced conserva—delicate, comforting, and full of depth.

Ready to serve, they’re perfect enjoyed warm with crusty bread or as part of a tapas spread, offering a true taste of Galicia’s simple, ingredient-led cooking.
