Creamy, smoky Romesco sauce made with almonds, charred capsicum, and paprika. Perfect for dipping or enhancing any dish, hot or cold.
Ingredients:
  • 2 red capsicum
  • 1 tomato
  • 5 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 56.88 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 125.00 ml natural almond kernels
  • 20.00 ml sherry vinegar
  • 10.00 gm smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2.40 gm salt
Instructions:
  • Preheat the barbecue grill until it's sizzling hot. Grill the capsicum, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes until the skin is charred all over. Place the capsicum in a bowl and tightly cover with foil. Let it sit for 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Place tomatoes and garlic on a sheet of foil, drizzle with 2 teaspoons of oil, then seal the foil packet. Place on a baking tray alongside bread and almonds and bake for 5 minutes until golden. Remove bread and almonds, then continue baking tomatoes and garlic for 25 more minutes until soft. Let cool for 10 minutes before handling.
  • Remove and discard the skin from the capsicum and tomato, as well as the seeds. Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and tear the bread into pieces. Place the capsicum, tomato, garlic, and bread in a blender or food processor. Add almonds, vinegar, remaining oil, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Serve.
