Spicy Romesco Dipping Sauce image

A tomato-based sauce that originated in the Catalonia region of Spain, Romesco has a rich, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor thanks to the addition of bell peppers and almonds. The sweetness is balanced out with a dash of vinegar, cayenne pepper, and garlic. It goes particularly well with dishes like roasted vegetables, and these grilled chicken tenders.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 red bell pepper
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1/4 cup crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce (from 1 small can)
1 tablespoon white or dark balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Roast bell pepper directly over a gas flame, or on a rimmed baking sheet directly under the broiler, turning several times, until blackened all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or resealable plastic bag; cover or seal and let stand 10 minutes. Remove stem and seeds, then peel and discard blackened skin (a paper towel makes quick work of this). Tear pepper into pieces.
  • Pulse garlic and almonds in a food processor until finely chopped. Add roasted pepper, tomatoes, vinegar, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Purée until smooth. With motor running, slowly add oil through feed tube until combined, a few seconds. Serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.
