Romesco Sauce
- 1 cup 1/2-inch cubes sourdough bread
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 jarred roasted red bell peppers, rinsed
- 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup blanched hazelnuts, toasted (see Note, page 54) and chopped
- 1/4 cup whole almonds, toasted (see Note, page 54) and chopped
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Put the bread cubes on a baking sheet.
- Bake until lightly toasted, roughly 10 minutes.
- Put a skillet over medium heat and coat with the 1 tablespoon oil.
- When the oil is hot, add the onion and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring, until the onion is caramelized, about 8 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a food processor, combine the red peppers with the vinegar, lemon juice, tomato paste, and garlic.
- Process for 10 to 15 seconds until smooth.
- Add the croutons and the nuts; process for another 10 to 15 seconds until thick.
- With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the remaining 1 cup oil until incorporated.
- If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add water, a tablespoon at a time, and pulse a couple of times to combine.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate until ready to use, for up to 3 days.
- Bring to room temperature before serving.
