Salsa romesco
A special spread for your cheese and bread - our recipe for Salsa Romesco is a beautiful addition to almost any occasion involving bread and cheese. The sweet and intense flavour of the grilled pepper is wonderfully complemented by savoury notes of garlic, onion and thyme - and balanced to perfection with vinegar.
ingredients
- 2 large red pepper (you can also buy readymade grilled red peppers)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 small red onion
- 75 g almonds
- fresh thyme
- sherry vinegar (or other tasty vinegar)
- 1 dl olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- if needed 1 slice of dry bread
preparation
Preparation1. Place the red peppers on a baking sheet and place them under the grill in the oven.
2. Let them scorch on all sides and then place them in a bowl with film around. Leave for 7-10 minutes.
3. The steam from the hot peppers will loosen the skin on the peppers. Remove the skin, stems and seeds from the pepper and place in a bowl with the remaining ingredients except bread, vinegar and half of the olive oil.
4. Blend with a hand blender until it is a uniform mass. If needed add more oil in the process. Season with vinegar. If the salsa is very wet, you can use the dry bread to give it a slightly firmer consistency.
