Romesco Style Sauce

Course Appetizer, Sauce, Snack
Cuisine Spanish
Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 6 oz tomatoes (about 5 Campari tomatoes)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup roasted almonds
  • 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, rough chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (if needed)

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients except olive oil into a Vitamix (Alternatively you can use a different type of blender or a food processor, but I really like the results I achieve with the Vitamix.) Start on low and turn up speed as the mixture allows, blending until sauce ingredients are well incorporated.
  • With motor running, remove the small cap in the lid and slowly stream in olive oil. Replace cap and continue blending until desired consistency.  I like mine fairly smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and add salt (up to a ¼ teaspoon) and additional crushed red pepper if desired.
