romesco

Make this moreish vegetarian dish as an easy starter for a dinner party. You can make it in 20 minutes and the sauce can be prepped ahead of time

Charred spring onions & romesco

blanched almonds

walnuts

garlic

skinned roasted red peppers

tomato purée

sourdough bread

milliliters extra virgin olive oil

cayenne pepper

½ tsp hot smoked paprika

red wine vinegar

spring onions

Put the nuts in the bowl of a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-food-processors">food processor</a>, saving a handful to serve. Add the garlic, then blitz until you have coarse crumbs. Add the red peppers and tomato purée and blitz again to a rough paste. Add the sourdough and a glug of the oil to loosen the mixture, then blitz once more until you have a slightly smoother paste. Pour the sauce into a <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-mixing-bowls">mixing bowl</a> and add the cayenne pepper, paprika and some seasoning. Pour in the rest of the olive oil, stirring to incorporate it. Add the vinegar, 1 tsp at a time, until the sauce has the right acidity &ndash; it should make you salivate!

For the spring onions, brush them with olive oil, season with salt and <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-five-best-griddle-pans">griddle</a> over a high heat, turning occasionally, until softening at the core and charred all over. Serve the spring onions with the sauce and a scattering of almonds.

This quick romesco takes 5 minutes to make, and is the perfect sauce for chicken, steak, pork, potatoes, and vegetables. It's healthy and full of flavor!
