Ingredients

  • 1 chilli pepper dried
  • 3 tbsp almond shavings
  • 3 tbsp hazelnuts
  • 3 ripe tomatoes halved
  • 1 onion peeled and quartered
  • 1 red bell pepper halved and deseeded
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 slice white bread
  • 4 tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • 100 ml olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • pinch sugar
  • sea ​​salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Soak the dried chilli pepper in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Prepare the barbecue for direct grilling. Maintain a temperature of approximately 200 °C.
  • Meanwhile, toast the almond shavings and the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan or cast iron pan. About 4-6 minutes until nicely browned. Let the nuts cool down on a plate. You can remove the skin from the hazelnuts by rubbing them between your hands. It’s okay if there’s a little bit of skin left on it.
  • When the barbecue is ready, brush the grill with olive oil. Place the tomato, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño and garlic on the grid. Roast for 4-8 minutes until everything is nicely browned. Turn occasionally. One will be ready sooner than the other.
  • Grill the slice of bread for 2 minutes per side until it darkens. Break it into pieces and put it in a food processor together with the nuts. Grind everything into powder.
  • Add the dried chilli pepper, tomato, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic and parsley. Grind everything into a smooth paste.
  • Then add the oil, red wine vinegar, a pinch of sugar and some salt and pepper. Mix one more time. The romesco sauce should be thick.
