• 2 medium red bell peppers, halved and cored
• 1 plum tomato, halved
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 cup toasted, peeled hazelnuts, more for garnish
• 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

3. Place peppers (cut side down), tomato halves (cut-side up) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet.
4. Broil until peppers and garlic are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Turn garlic (but do not turn peppers or tomato); broil 1 to 2 minutes longer until garlic is well browned but not burned.
6. Transfer garlic to a large bowl.
7. Continue broiling peppers and tomatoes until both are well charred, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
8. Transfer tomato and peppers to the bowl with the garlic.
9. Cover bowl with plastic wrap.

12. Add peppers, tomato, garlic, breadcrumbs, oil, vinegar, pomegranate molasses, paprika and salt.
13. Puree until smooth.
14. Taste and adjust seasonings.
15. Scrape romesco into a bowl.
16. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
17. Have ready a large bowl of ice water.
18. Boil broccoli until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
19. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to ice water; drain.
20. In a large bowl, toss broccoli with enough romesco to coat vegetables well.
21. (Reserve any remaining romesco for dipping or for another use.)
22. Garnish with hazelnuts and serve warm or at room temperature.
