ROMESCO SAUCE



Romesco Sauce image

Romesco is a rich Spanish sauce of charred tomatoes and roasted red peppers, puréed and thickened with toasted almonds and bread. The flavors are further sharpened with the addition of raw garlic, vinegar, chile powder or red pepper flakes (adjust the heat to your liking). The result is a smoky, pungent sauce, one usually served with mild-mannered vegetables and fish. (Some Spaniards say that a grilled vegetable feast is just an excuse for eating romesco.) But the sauce is just as good on a piece of toast that's been brushed with olive oil and rubbed with yet more garlic. If you have the time, let the sauce stand for an hour at room temperature before serving, allowing the flavors to meld all the more.

Time 30m

Yield About 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large red pepper, about 1/2 pound, roasted, peeled, seeds and membranes removed
3 medium tomatoes or 4 Roma tomatoes (about 3/4 pound)
2 thick slices (about 2 ounces) baguette or country-style bread, lightly toasted
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup toasted almonds, or a combination of almonds and skinned roasted hazelnuts
1 to 2 teaspoons pure ground chile powder or red pepper flakes, to taste (pepper flakes are hotter)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon sweet paprika or Spanish smoked paprika (pimenton)
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet, and place under the broiler at the highest setting. Broil for two to four minutes, until charred on one side. Turn over and broil on the other side for two to four minutes until charred. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Peel and core.
  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic cloves. When the garlic is chopped and adheres to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides. Add the toasted almonds (or almonds and hazelnuts), bread and chile powder or flakes to the bowl and process to a paste.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the pepper, tomatoes, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper. Process until smooth, and with the machine running, add the vinegar and olive oil in a slow stream, beginning with the smaller amount of olive oil and thinning out as desired. Process until well amalgamated, then scrape into a bowl.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt or chile as desired. If possible, allow the sauce to stand for an hour at room temperature before using. Serve with fish and/or grilled vegetables, or on crostini.

GRILLED SPRING ONIONS WITH ROMESCO SAUCE



Grilled Spring Onions With Romesco Sauce image

Spring onions look similar to green onions, but are a bit larger and stronger tasting. This recipe was developed by Melissa Clark and appeared in the New York Times. Romesco sauce is commonly served in the Catalan region of Spain. It can also be served as a sauce for meat, fish or vegetables other than spring onions. It can also be served on bread. This recipe takes 30 minutes using a microwave, 1 hour otherwise. I would probably decrease the oil in this recipe considerably, and add more warm water to make it less thick.

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 ripe tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup almonds, toasted (shelled)
1/4 cup hazelnuts (shelled)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 small almond biscotti, broken into pieces (about 3/4 ounce, or substitute 1 slice toasted bread plus 1 tablespoon almonds and a pinch of sugar)
6 sun-dried tomatoes
2 egg yolks (hard cooked, lightly mashed)
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 pinch cayenne
8 spring onions, greens trimmed, bulbs halved

Steps:

  • Slice 4 garlic cloves in half crosswise and put them in a small, microwave-safe dish. Cover with 1/4 cup olive oil. Loosely cover dish with plastic wrap, cut a slit in top and cook in microwave on medium power for 1 minute, 20 seconds. Uncover and let cool. Alternately, saute garlic in oil until golden around edges, about 3 minutes.
  • Place tomato cut-side down on a plate. Microwave on medium power for 4 minutes. Let cool, then pull off tomato skin; it should come right off. If not, cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Alternatively, roast tomato halves in a 350-degree oven until wrinkled and tender, 20-30 minutes, then peel.
  • Chop remaining 3 cloves garlic and put in a food processor along with nuts and biscotti. Grind to a powder, add sun-dried tomatoes and yolks, and process until tomatoes are ground. Add cooked tomato, cooked garlic with oil, plus vinegar, paprika, salt and cayenne, and process until smooth. Slowly drizzle in remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Taste and adjust salt and vinegar if desired. If mixture is too thick, slowly drizzle in 1-3 tablespoons warm water. (You can make sauce up to 5 days ahead.).
  • To prepare onions, preheat a grill or broiler. Brush onions with oil and place on a grilling rack or broiler pan. Grill or broil for about 5 minutes a side, until browned and softened. Serve with romesco sauce.

ROMESCO WITH GRILLED BREAD, SPRING ONIONS AND SHRIMP



Romesco With Grilled Bread, Spring Onions and Shrimp image

From Food & Drink's Best of 2008 list - I am stashing for using once our shrimp, first early maters & spring onions are available. Plan to make with my Recipe#181632 . The foodies at Food & Drink say: "Is romesco becoming the new pesto? Just as our obsession with Italian cooking turned that Ligurian sauce of basil, nuts and olive oil into a near-staple, the increasing interest in Spanish cooking is doing the same for romesco, essentially peppers, nuts and tomatoes ground together until they're nearly smooth. If so, it couldn't happen to a nicer sauce. "Earthy, toothsome, definitely habit-forming, romesco is rough magic in a bowl," wrote staff writer Amy Scattergood when she developed this recipe. Romesco can be used in any number of ways -- spooned into a soup, served on fish, or simply smeared on bread. But one of the most traditional uses is in the classic Catalan dish calcotada: grilled bread topped with grilled spring onions and grilled shrimp. In Spain, it's traditionally served only in the spring, but if you ask us, this is good enough to eat any time." Mmmm, will be planting onion sets in the next 2 weeks, thinking of this recipe for the first gloriously warm-hot day. Too dang difficult to jockey in my Romesco sauce recipe - Recipe#181632
