Romesco Sauce

"This is good on fish, vegetables...I'm sure that whatever you dream up would be good. I listed this as a low carb recipe, so I probably shouldn't say this, but this tastes really good with bread. From the Low Carb Cookbook by Fran McCullough."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Put the garlic, almonds, tomatoes, and pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. The veggies should be soft.
  • Peel and seed the tomatoes (honestly, I don't bother to peel them -- I'm a little lazy that way).
  • Peel the garlic.
  • Put the roasted ingredients in a blender or food processor and grind thoroughly.
  • Add the vinegar and salt.
  • While the food processor is still running, gradually trickle in the oil until the sauce thickens.

  1. Awesome. I grilled some green onions (see No Reservations, Spain) and dipped in this sauce. Fabulous.
     
  2. This was really simple and quite delicious. Went really well with whole wheat pasta.
     
  3. This recipe surprised me. I followed the instructions and ingredients to the letter. However, my results turned out to be more of a spreadable paste than a sauce. The flavor is very nice, with a hint of spiciness and very almond-y. I do think this would be very nice used as a spread on crackers or even used to top celery sticks. I do plan to use this with our fish this evening! Thank you for sharing your recipes with us, Aunt Cookie!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find. When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here). I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year. The picture above is (from left) Andrea, me, and Kris, on our first annual Tacky Tourist Weekend.
