Gluten-Free Romesco Sauce with Roasted Garlic image

An unexpectedly delicious sauce that I use as a dip and a sauce for meats, veggies, and anywhere I would like a kick of flavor. Sometimes just on a spoon!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small head garlic, unpeeled
2 teaspoons olive oil, or to taste
salt to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup toasted slivered almonds
½ (15 ounce) jar roasted red peppers packed in water, drained, or more to taste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ cup olive oil
ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Slice off the top 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the head of garlic. Drizzle garlic with 2 teaspoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap in aluminum foil and place in a baking pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle. Squeeze the cloves out of their skins; discard skins.

Add 1/4 cup olive oil and blend until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add cayenne pepper.
