Mmmm Roasted Romesco Sauce
- 5 roma tomatoes, halved
- 2 slices bread, chewy each about 1 inch thick
- 1/2 cup whole almond
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 10 garlic cloves
- 2 pimientos or 2 roasted red peppers
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried red pepper (optional)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Drizzle tomatoes & bread with olive oil, salt & fresh-ground black pepper then roast on foil-covered cookie sheet for 40 minutes. Add almonds & pine nuts to cookie sheet for last 10 minutes of roasting time. Check after 6-8 minutes to make sure nuts not burning.
- Transfer roasted ingredients and fresh garlic to a food processor and pulse to break into chunks. Add the next five ingredients. Pulse until well combined.
- Add salt 1/2 teaspoon at a time, to taste. This sauce is best if allowed to rest a day after preparation so the flavors can develop. Garlic becomes more pronounced with overnight rest.
