romesco sauce recipe

This Romesco sauce recipe isn&#x27;t traditional - I use tomato paste instead of roasted tomatoes and chickpeas instead of bread - but it still captures the tangy, smoky flavor and creamy texture of the classic Spanish sauce. I love to serve it with crusty bread and grilled vegetables. Find more serving suggestions in the post above!

Romesco Sauce

red bell peppers* (skin and seeds removed)

Serve with crusty bread or grilled vegetables. For more serving suggestions, see the blog post above.

Romesco is a hearty, thick and smoky tomato-based sauce that uses nuts and bread for flavor and texture. Serve it over lamb, beef or even vegetables.

Romesco Sauce Recipe

plum tomatoes

onion

extra virgin olive oil

bread (, crusts removed, cut into 1 inch squares)

red peppers (, drained)

almonds

ancho chile powder

sweet paprika

sherry vinegar

sugar

coarse kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 400°F degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.

Trim any woody stems from the tomatoes. Quarter and press out pulp and/or seeds using your fingers. Some remaining is fine. Place the tomatoes, garlic and onion onto the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat.

Roast the vegetables for 30 minutes, turning once. Remove and transfer all of the vegetables and juices to a large food processor.

Pulse until a paste forms. Add the bread, red peppers, almonds, chile powder, paprika, sherry vinegar, sugar and salt. Blend on high until mixture is combined and coarse.

Serve immediately or heat in a saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes.
