Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 16 oz jar organic roasted red peppers
- ½ cup organic sun dried tomatoes
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- 2 small cloves garlic
- 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Toast almonds: place them in a dry skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan to redistribute almonds for 3 minutes, or until toasted, but not burnt. OR: preheat oven to 325 and toast on rimmed baking sheet for 15 minutes, until golden.
- If sun dried tomatoes are dry/hard, soak iIn warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.
- Drain red peppers and place in a bowl of food processor. Add in toasted almonds, sun dried tomatoes, parsley, garlic, vinegar and spices. Process until all ingredient are fully incorporated. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides several times and then continue. With processor running, slowly pour in the water, allowing mixture to absorb moisture evenly. Scrape down sides and process again. Check for seasoning and if mixture is too thick, add additional water 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
- Store in airtight container in the fridge for 1 week or the freezer for 2 months.
Notes
- I like to buy my almonds RAW and then toast myself, if needed. This keeps my pantry uncluttered, with flexible ingredients that are wholesome too.
- For tree nut allergies, substitute sunflower seeds for the almonds. Hemp seeds will also work.
- Tomatoes and Red Peppers are heavily sprayed produce---buy organic when you can.
- If you are looking for a thinner romesco that you can use as a sauce/spread, thin with additional water or almond milk until desired consistency.
