Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell pepper
- 1 cup cooked almonds
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until the skins are blistered and blackened, turning once halfway through.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
While the peppers are cooling, lightly toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and aromatic. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Peel off the skins from the cooled peppers and remove the stems and seeds.
In a food processor, add the roasted bell peppers, toasted almonds, garlic cloves, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Transfer the romesco sauce to a serving dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
