Easy Romesco Sauce

Here’s an easy, delicious recipe for romesco sauce, because we can all use more sauces and dips in our arsenal I’m sure.

Most of my recipes and meals are really simple. I a big believer in jazzing stuff up with a good spread or sauce. Hummus, tahini dips, and this romesco are some of my favorites. Kick up a basic veggie bowl, add loads of flavor to an avocado toast with this drizzled on top, or simply use as a delicious veggie dip.

Toss everything in a blender and blend until it’s the consistency you prefer. Store in your fridge for about a week, not that it will last that long.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Course: Appetizer, Side Dish, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup walnuts or almonds
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 lemon squeeze of lemon, to taste

Method
 

  1. Lightly toast the nuts in a dry pan over medium heat. Mix around in the pan until they are lightly toasted, careful not to burn.
  2. Toss everything except the lemon in a high speed blender. Blend until almost smooth. Taste and add a light squeeze of lemon to your liking. Blend for another couple seconds. I like to keep it a little chunky. Blend smoother if you prefer.
