Vegan Sobrasada

This Vegan Sobrasada is a Plant-Based love letter to the famous Mallorcan spread – smoky, rich, slightly sweet, and irresistibly spreadable. It captures the soul of traditional sobrasada without any meat, making it perfect for anyone craving big Mediterranean flavour in a lighter, more modern way. Slather it on toast, spoon it into sandwiches, swirl it through pasta, or serve it as part of a tapas board with olives and grilled vegetables.

What makes this spread so special is how intense and comforting it feels despite being made from simple pantry ingredients. The sun-dried tomatoes bring depth and umami, the paprika delivers that signature warmth and colour, and the olive oil ties everything together into a silky, luxurious texture. It’s bold, satisfying, and one of those recipes that instantly makes you feel like you’re sitting in the Spanish sun ☀️
