Ingredients

• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 50 grams Raw almonds
• 2 Cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the red bell peppers and tomatoes on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the skin of the peppers is charred and the tomatoes are soft.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Once the peppers and tomatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Peel the skins off the peppers and tomatoes once they are cool enough to handle.

Step 5

In a food processor, add the peeled peppers, tomatoes, toasted almonds, garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, and smoked paprika.

Step 6

Pulse the mixture a few times to start blending, then with the processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the Romesco sauce into a serving bowl or jar. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
