Romesco Sauce
The best homemade Romesco Sauce is made with freshly-fired bell peppers and tomatoes, not the jarred, brine-packed peppers from the store. I love a culinary shortcut, but don't take it here.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange peppers and tomato in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast the peppers until the skin is charred and blistered but not ash white, turning occasionally, about 30 to ⏱️ 40 minutes.

2
Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let stand until the skin starts to loosen and the peppers are cool enough to handle, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Wearing gloves or using a clean kitchen towel, carefully rub off and discard the blackened pepper and tomato skin. Remove the stem and seeds and chop peppers and tomato.

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add roasted peppers, tomato, almonds, and cayenne, and sauté to allow flavors to meld, about ⏱️ 5 minutes.
