Romesco Sauce

submitted by dave

A while ago, I purchased some smoked paprika from Reading Terminal Market
in Philadelphia (http://www.readingterminalmarket.org). It has a unique
and wonderful smoky flavor and this is the first time I've seen it in a
recipe.

Catalan Pepper Sauce

2 Tbsp bittersweet Pimentón de la Vera (smoked paprika)
1 chili pepper
3 tomatoes
1 head of garlic
1 dozen almonds, blanched and peeled
2 dozen hazelnuts, skinned
1 sprig of mint, chopped
1 slice of bread, toasted
1 Tbsp parsley
5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vinegar

Remove seeds from chili pepper and grind into a powder. Roast the tomatoes
and garlic in a hot oven for 15 minutes. Skin the tomatoes, cut them in
half, and remove the seeds. Skin the garlic cloves. Put the tomatoes in a
food provessor with the garlic, pimentón, almonds, hazelnuts, mint,
bread, parsley, and part of the olive oil. Process until you have a
smooth puree. Beat in the remaining oil, vinegar and pepper.
