Romesco sauce is a Spanish condiment made with tomatoes, almonds, red peppers and a splash of sherry vinegar, often served with fish. We use roasted bell peppers to flavor and build up the sauce. Instead of almonds, we put almond powder to great use here to cut back on the fat. Don’t worry if the sauce is not completely smooth. It’s nice to have a little texture from the tomatoes and red peppers. If you’d like to add a little heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Ingredients

Sun-dried tomatoes (without oil)

8 half/halves

Garlic clove

1 clove(s)

Roasted red peppers (packed in water)

½ cup(s), coarsely chopped

Almonds

cup(s), sliced, whole

Olive oil

3 Tbsp

Sherry vinegar

1 Tbsp, or red wine vinegar

Kosher salt

¼ tsp

Instructions

  1. In a small heatproof bowl, cover the tomatoes with boiling water. Let soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup of the liquid, then drain the tomatoes. In a food processor, pulse the garlic until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes, reserved liquid, red peppers, almonds, oil, vinegar, and salt. Process until the sauce is smooth. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
