Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. *Large tomatoes were quartered, medium sized halved and cherry tomatoes left whole for roasting.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. It's best to use a roasting pan with higher edges and not a cookie sheet (unless that's all you own.).
  3. Put the peppers on the baking sheet. Put the tomatoes, cut-side up, on the baking sheet and tuck in garlic and a bay leaf. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Roast about half an hour or until peppers are evenly blackened and tomatoes have shriveled to a deep russet red.
  5. Depending on the size of the tomatoes and peppers, they may cook at different rates. Remove the peppers as they blacken.
  6. (I know you're not supposed to do this, but I skipped peeling the bell peppers. The taste of the final product did not suffer in the least.)Put the peppers on a plate and cover with an upturned bowl until cool enough to handle. Rub off skins and seed the peppers.
  7. Discard the bay leaf. Squeeze garlic out of papery husk. *REMOVE* the cinnamon stick. Process the tomatoes and bell peppers including the liquid that is left over from roasting, in a food processor, blender, or with an immersion blender along with the paprika, cayenne, smoked salt, ground chipotle powder, ginger, cumin, cloves and hazelnuts/almonds.
  8. With the motor running, gradually add the vinegar, then the olive oil until it is pureed. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to a week. I often will float a bit of olive oil over the top to keep the air out.
  10. If the Romesco lasts longer than that, you didn’t really like it.
  11. Tastes best warm or at room temperature.
  12. My serving suggestion: I baked a loaf of Marianne Baguette - Traditional Rustic French Bread and spooned some of the romesco on the bread, followed by a scatter of Turkish feta, minced fresh cilantro and fresh winter savory and a shake of cracked black pepper.
  13. Yield is estimated.
