Mmmm Roasted Romesco Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Roast the vegetables: Heat oven to 550 degrees F, or as high as your oven will go. Leaving the skin on, cut the onion in half vertically and place in roasting pan, cut side down. Cut the carrots in half horizontally and add to pan. Slice tomatoes in half and add to pan, cut side down. Cut head of garlic in half horizontally, discard the woody outermost layer, and add to pan, cut side down. Drizzle ¼ cup olive oil over the vegetables and roast until soft and lightly charred, about 15 minutes.
• Make the romesco: When the vegetables are roasted and cooled, remove the onion, tomato, and garlic skins and discard; add all the vegetables to the food processor. Deglaze the roasting pan by adding enough water to cover the bottom, heating to a low simmer, and scraping to release the brown bits (also known as "fond"). Meanwhile, pulse the vegetables in the food processor to a chunky mash. Add the sliced almonds, toasted almonds, salt, pimenton, vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil; pulse to combine.
• Finish the romesco: Add half of the deglazed pan juices to the food processor and continue to pulse to combine; then season to taste with more salt. With the motor running, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to finish. Serve with grilled vegetables, as a dip, or as a vinaigrette by mixing a few tablespoons of romesco with one part vinegar and two parts oil.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place the tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic cloves onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the vegetables with some of the olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake in the preheated oven until the garlic has turned golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for 10 minutes. While the vegetables are cooling, bake the bread slice on one of the oven racks until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool.
• Scrape the vegetables and any juices from the pan into a food processor or blender. Break the bread into pieces, and add to the food processor along with the toasted almonds, vinegar, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Puree until finely ground, then drizzle in the remaining olive oil with the machine running. Season to taste with additional salt if necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread Romanesco onto the prepared baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Process almonds, garlic and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs in a food processor until nuts are nearly ground, 10 to 15 seconds. Add red peppers, tomato, oil, vinegar, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse, scraping down sides of the bowl as necessary, until mixture has texture similar to mayonnaise, 20 to 30 seconds more. Add additional 1/4 cup breadcrumbs as needed to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with roasted vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss the tomato, peppers, garlic, paprika, vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the torn bread and cook, tossing often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until toasted and golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, then coarsely chop the bread into pieces.
• Carefully wipe out any crumbs from the pan with a paper towel, then add a splash of olive oil. Add the almonds and toast over medium heat, tossing occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to the board with the bread and set aside to cool.
• Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and place on a sheet pan or in a baking dish. Brush all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the bread, almonds and parsley to the tomato salsa and toss well. Spoon over the fish fillets, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet, and place under the broiler at the highest setting. Broil for two to four minutes, until charred on one side. Turn over and broil on the other side for two to four minutes until charred. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Peel and core.
• Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic cloves. When the garlic is chopped and adheres to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides. Add the toasted almonds (or almonds and hazelnuts), bread and chile powder or flakes to the bowl and process to a paste.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the pepper, tomatoes, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper. Process until smooth, and with the machine running, add the vinegar and olive oil in a slow stream, beginning with the smaller amount of olive oil and thinning out as desired. Process until well amalgamated, then scrape into a bowl.
• Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt or chile as desired. If possible, allow the sauce to stand for an hour at room temperature before using. Serve with fish and/or grilled vegetables, or on crostini.

Steps:

• In the event you don't have shallots, use 1/4 of a large red onion instead.
• roughly chop the peppers, onions and garlic.
• Add all ingredients into a pan and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the peppers are soft enough to cut with fork edge.
• Once everything is pretty soft, put it in a blender and blend until very smooth.
• When ready to serve the crab cakes (detailed in the other recipe "Hot Crab Cakes") then heat the sauce to very hot before spooning over the crab cakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drizzle tomatoes & bread with olive oil, salt & fresh-ground black pepper then roast on foil-covered cookie sheet for 40 minutes. Add almonds & pine nuts to cookie sheet for last 10 minutes of roasting time. Check after 6-8 minutes to make sure nuts not burning.
• Transfer roasted ingredients and fresh garlic to a food processor and pulse to break into chunks. Add the next five ingredients. Pulse until well combined.
• Add salt 1/2 teaspoon at a time, to taste. This sauce is best if allowed to rest a day after preparation so the flavors can develop. Garlic becomes more pronounced with overnight rest.
