Crispianity: Crispy Fish With Romesco
- 1 red bell pepper, halved and seeded
- 4 vine-ripened tomatoes (1 pound), halved
- 1 large onion, peeled and cut into 8 wedges
- 8 large cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup extra virgin Spanish olive oil, plus more for coating vegetables or loosening sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped almonds or hazelnuts, lightly toasted
- 1 slice day-old white bread, crusts removed
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 really high-quality fish fillets (if you're going to make this happen, don't skimp here), such as striped bass, branzino or salmon
- canola or grapeseed oil (no olive oil here, it'll smoke and burn)
- sea salt
- Wondra flour
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Place the peppers, tomatoes, onions and garlic on a large roasting pan lined with aluminum foil.
- Brush generously with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Roast until softened, 25-30 minutes.
- Turn on the broiler and broil until vegetables are slightly charred, 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool (you can peel the tomatoes if you want, but you dont have to).
- Place vegetables, nuts, bread, vinegar and paprika in the bowl of a food processor.
- Turn on processor and drizzle in the 1/2 cup olive oil until a thick, emulsified mixture is formed.
- Season with salt and pepper, add more vinegar of you like things tangy, and loosen with a bit of olive oil to your liking.
- Serve with fish.
- Romesco sauce will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
