Romesco Sauce

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the top position about 4 inches under the broiler. Cut the peppers in half and remove the stems, seeds, and membranes.

Step 2

Roast the peppers for 10-15 minutes; or until the skins are completely wrinkled and the peppers are charred, rotating the sheet if necessary for them to cook evenly.

Step 3

I enjoy the char of the peppers so I transfer the entire pepper to the food processor. If you prefer you can peel back the skin of the peppers.

Step 4

In a food processor combine peppers with remaining ingredients. Process until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Use romesco sauce in pasta or as a dip.
