ROMESCO RECIPE
Ingredients
* 2 large ripe tomatoes
* 2 x ñora dried peppers / 2 x ancho chillies / 2 tsp sweet paprika
* 1 large onion
* 4 garlic cloves
* 75g. of peeled almonds
* 50g of hazelnuts
* 50g of walnuts
* 2 slices of bread (left out to dry)
* 75 ml extra virgin olive oil
* 20ml sherry vinegar
* Salt to taste
Instructions
Place the ñoras or ancho chillies (or other dried) in a bowl with hot water so that they rehydrate, and leave them for about 30 minutes, until they are fully hydrated.
Quarter the onions and pierce the skin of the tomatoes a little to prevent them from bursting. Then place them both on a tray or in an ovenproof dish with the garlic. Bake, at 180º C, for 30 minutes, until everything is roasted.
While the vegetables are cooking, remove the dried chillies from the water and take the seeds out. With the tip of a knife or a teaspoon.
Roast the hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts on a tray, keeping them in separate sections. If possible, remove the skin from the hazelnuts by rubbing them in a cloth.
Once the tomatoes, onions and garlic have had their 30 minutes of cooking, remove the skins from them all.
Into a blender add the rehydrated chilli, the hazelnuts, the walnuts and the almonds, the bread ripped into smaller pieces, tomatoes, onion and roasted garlic, a pinch of salt, the sherry vinegar and a little of the oil.
Add the chopped bread, tomatoes, onion and chopped garlic cloves. Add a pinch of salt, the sherry vinegar and part of the oil.
Blend whilst streaming in the rest of the oil until you have a creamy texture and appearance.
