5-Minute Romesco Sauce Recipe
Description
The 5-Minute Romesco Sauce starts with jarred roasted red peppers and canned fire-roasted tomatoes, drained to prevent excess moisture. Toasted almonds and optional hazelnuts add richness and texture when blended with the peppers and tomatoes in a food processor. Fresh parsley, garlic, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes contribute layers of flavor including subtle heat and earthiness.
Acidity from lemon juice and sherry vinegar brightens the sauce, balancing the sweetness of the peppers and nuts. Olive oil is incorporated to create a creamy, emulsified texture. The blending process can be adjusted to desired consistency, from chunky to smooth.
This sauce is ideal as a dip, spread, or accompaniment to grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or vegetables. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for up to six months in a proper container, maintaining its flavor and texture after thawing.
