Raw Romesco

This quick and easy romesco sauce is a version of the classic, just with more micronutrients and a thinner, glossy texture. It makes it the perfect sauce for spooning over proteins or mixing in your summer grain bowls.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 medium (10 oz) red tomato
  • 1 medium (7 oz) red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Instructions 

  1. Chop the tomato and remove the seeds from the red bell pepper.
  2. Add them to a blender along with 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup of walnuts, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth, about one minute. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of parsley and pulse, chopping the parsley into pieces. Don’t blend too much, or you risk your sauce turning a muted brown, where we want flecks of green throughout.
  4. Use this on toasts, sandwiches, grain bowls, and proteins!
