Puerro escabechado y grasa de alitas de pollo (pickled leeks with chicken wing schmaltz)
This leek dish from Malaga-based chef Dani Carnero consists of lightly pickled leeks served on top of smoky, paprika-infused schmaltz and garnished with labneh. Try and get the highest quality chicken wings you can for this - their fat will have a much better flavour.
