Time 45m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon ancho chili paste (method below)
1 3-by-1-inch slice rustic white bread
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup roasted hazelnuts
2 cloves smashed garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 red peppers, roasted and peeled juice reserved
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/4 cup cold-pressed hazelnut oil (see note above)

Steps:

  • To make paste, add boiling water to 2 dried ancho chili pods. Weight with a plate for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pods from water and purée, adding just enough of the water to make a paste. Pass paste through a mesh strainer and reserve.
  • Cut the crusts off the bread and tear into 2 to 3 pieces. In a sauté pan over low heat, fry bread in ¼ cup olive oil until golden brown and crisp. Cool on paper towels.
  • In a food processor, combine hazelnuts, garlic, bread, salt and spices. Mix until a dry paste forms. Add the ancho paste, red peppers and their juice, tomato paste, vinegar, hazelnut oil and another ¼ cup olive oil until a smooth paste forms. Adjust with oil for a thinner consistency if desired, and taste for salt and spice.
  • Serve as a dip with rustic bread, or as an accompaniment to roast pork or lamb.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out terrible. It was way too salty and I had to throw it out.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The sauce was bland and lacked flavor. I won't be making this again.

I found that the sauce was a bit too thick for my liking. I added a little bit of water to thin it out, and it was perfect.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.

This sauce is so versatile! I've used it on chicken, fish, and vegetables, and it's always delicious. It's also great as a dip for bread or crackers.

I'm not a big fan of hazelnuts, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this sauce. The hazelnuts added a subtle nutty flavor that really complemented the other ingredients.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some leftover roasted red peppers and tomatoes, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The hazelnuts add a nutty richness to the sauce, while the roasted red peppers and tomatoes give it a smoky sweetness. The end result is a sauce that is both complex and delicious.
