Romesco Sauce
- 1/2 cups Italian Or French Bread, Crusted Removed, Cut Into 1-inch Cubes
- 1/2 cups Almonds
- 2 whole Medium Red Bell Peppers, Sliced In Half Lengthwise, Seeds And Stems Removed
- 1 whole Medium Plum Tomato, Sliced In Half Lengthwise, Stem Removed
- 2 cloves Garlic, In Skin
- 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar Or Sherry Vinegar, Or To Taste
- 1/2 teaspoons Light Agave Nectar Or Honey
- 2 teaspoons Sweet Smoked Paprika
- 2 pinches Cayenne Pepper, Or To Taste
- 1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Arrange bread cubes and almonds on a baking sheet. Toast in the center of the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until almonds are fragrant and bread is dried out and golden, stirring halfway through. Set aside.
- Preheat the broiler. Arrange peppers (cut side down), tomato (cut side up) and garlic on a baking sheet. Broil 2-3 minutes, flip garlic, and broil another 2-3 minutes or until softened and garlic skin is lightly browned. Set garlic aside. Rotate pan, and continue to broil tomato for 4-6 minutes or until softened and charred. Set aside. Broil peppers an additional 2-3 minutes or until all skin is well-charred.
- Transfer peppers to a brown bag, seal and allow to steam for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, peel garlic, and peel and chop the tomato. Peel and chop peppers. Discard skins. Using a food processor, finely grind bread and almonds. Add peppers, tomato, garlic, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, agave and spices. Blend until smooth. Stream in olive oil while blending, until incorporated. Taste and season with additional vinegar, salt and/or pepper, if desired. Serve this with my marinated pork tenderloin or your dish of choice. Enjoy.
