This simple ROMESCO SAUCE that will make the ultimate sauce with which you can transform any meal from boring to WOW. Pairs perfect with raw, grilled, baked and pretty much anything savory.

romesco sauceBest flavors to combine with this sauce are crispy potatoes or any veggies baked, grilled or raw, which basically makes the BEST combo for meal prep. Perfect to take with a platter of veggies to a party and make some people happy. It’s Whole30, Keto and Paleo approved and tastes amazing.

romesco sauceReady in minutes and all you need is a jar, a hand blender, this one is on my wishlist. a few ingredients from the ingredients list and you are ready to rock and roll with it. You can also option in and all in some roasted garlic to kick it up a notch.

I wanted to share two versions with you so you can decide the one that tastes the best for you. I would say, try roasting your own peppers first. Then do a little cheating and buy some good quality roasted peppers in oil from the store. Both are good and the cheating way is perfect for a quick last minute sauce if you ran out of the roasted peppers you made at home.

romesco sauceWhen I go shopping for groceries I always make sure to have a bottle of roasted peppers in my pantry because you can use it for so many different meals. Plus you can whip up this sauce if you have some last minute guests arriving and want to serve up some snacks for them. Perfect for entertaining or every day meals.

This simple ROMESCO SAUCE that will make the ultimate sauce with which you can transform any meal from boring to WOW. Pairs perfect with raw, grilled, baked and pretty much anything savory.

Course: Condiment
Cuisine: Spanish
Servings: 2 cups
Author: Lena Gladstone
Ingredients
  • 4 fresh red bell peppers (or a 12 oz jar)
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley
  • 1-2 tbsp good olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
Instructions
  1. If using fresh peppers, preheat oven to 450 F. Place whole peppers in baking sheet, bake for about 30-45 mins flipping halfway. Peppers should be charred and wilted looking. 

  2. Remove peppers carefully and add to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool a bit. The plastic wrap helps to loosen the skin so it removes easily. Once cooled down. remove the stem, seeds and skin off each pepper.

  3. If using jarred peppers, remove from jar and drain the liquid, make sure no skin or seeds are present.

  4. Add all the ingredients into a jar. Pulse everything together with a hand blender until it’s texturally right for you (I like it right between chunky and smooth – I leave a little texture with the almonds, but it’s mostly a smooth emulsion). See recipe notes below.

  5. Serve with grilled chicken, beef, roasted/grilled/raw vegetables, crispy potatoes, eggs, avocado toast… the possibilities are endless. Stays good for about a week, if it even lasts that long.

Recipe Notes

I have tried this in a food processor and didn't feel like I got the results I wanted, so I feel like making it with the hand blender is the best way.

    Wow, this sauce is a knockout! Made it roasting the peppers myself, and it was fun to peel them. We enjoyed it as a dip for pita chips and veggies, as well as on turkey burgers and flank steak. My husband does not throw out compliments to just anything, but even he said this is ‘really good!’ It’s a new staple at our house and I even gifted a jar to neighbors who love it now too. Thank you Lena!!!

      Probably the best compliment is when husbands or kids tell you the food is really good. I am so happy to hear that your husband loves it and even the neighbors. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave the feedback.

    This sauce, this dip, whatever you want to call it, is THE best. I had it at Lena’s charcuterie class and honestly, couldn’t wait to make it myself. So when she says don’t use a food processor, it doesn’t turn out the same, she means it. My boyfriend said I had to give it a go before I went out and bought another “toy” for the kitchen. Looks like this girl is getting a new toy for her kitchen.
