How to Make Mmmm Roasted Romesco Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drizzle 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes and 2 slices of your favorite bread (French, Italian, ciabatta, or sourdough) with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Roast on a foil-lined baking sheet for 40 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup almonds and 1/4 cup pine nuts to the baking sheet during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
  4. Check nuts after 6-8 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Transfer roasted tomatoes, bread, nuts, and 2 cloves of fresh garlic to a food processor. Pulse until ingredients are coarsely chopped.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  7. Pulse until well combined and smooth.
  8. Add salt, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, to taste.
  9. For the best flavor, let the sauce rest for at least one day in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
