Steps:
- Hydrate the ñoras the day prior by placing in water (or boil 15 minutes to do this quickly-- not quite the same but it works!), remove the stem and all seeds
- Dry the bread out a few hours in advance (if possible), then toast in the toaster until golden brown. Let cool, remove crusts and cut into smaller cubes.
- Roast the head of garlic and plum tomatoes (pierced at the bottom with a couple of slits) for about 35 minutes at 400°F (200°C) -- drizzle with olive oil before putting in the oven
- Then roast the nuts on a baking sheet for about 5 minutes, moving them around every couple of minutes (keep a close eye on them-- stop when they're golden and fragrant and do not let them burn!)
- Let everything cool down and then mix everything (the tomatoes, peeled roasted garlic cloves, rehydrated peppers, toasted white bread cubes, vinegar, roasted nuts, and olive oil) together in a blender until uniform (not too smooth)
- Add more vinegar, salt, and cayenne (if you wish) to taste.
- Enjoy the sauce with roasted vegetables, or on a sandwich.

ROMESCO SAUCE (A SPANISH CONDIMENT)
Having researched many recipes for this condiment, it seems most of them have basic components of smokiness, heat, nuts, red peppers, tomatoes, olive oil and sherry vinegar. They also often include bread as a thickener, but mine does not. In fact, my recipe is so very simple I wonder if it is truly a Romesco sauce. I never measure the amount of nuts, olive oil, or sherry vinegar so the amounts below are approximate. Goes well with grilled fish, chicken, or meat or use as a dip for bread or veggies. A food processor makes this come together easily. I guess it is possible to make something more complicated by not using ingredients that are already processed, like the Smokehouse Almonds, jarred roasted red peppers, or canned tomatoes. But this works well consistently and friends always enjoy it. A very good quality Sherry Vinegar can add a nice touch, but I usually use what I find at the store, Big Lots, or TJ Max. Spanish chef, Penelope Casas, recommends Pimenton De le Vera for paprika.

Steps:
- If using hazelnuts, toast in oven at 350 for a few minutes until fragrant. Wrap in a clean dish towel and while still warm, rub together in the towel to remove the darker husks. (I have known a few people allergic to hazelnuts, so I usually omit them.).
- Cut away the stem and remove seeds from dried chipotle pepper, then rehydrate in boiling water. After is has softened, usually about 10 minutes, remove from the water and drain.
- Using chopping blade in food processor bowl, mince the chipotle. Add peeled garlic clove and continue mincing. Next add the roasted red bell pepper and continue chopping. Add in the Smokehouse Almonds and continue with processing. I like to get these ingredients as homogenized as possible, in order to finely mince the chipotle and garlic.
- Continue to process in the olive oil and the sherry vinegar. Then adjust seasoning with black pepper and Spanish smoked paprika.
- To keep it just slightly chunky stirr in the canned tomatoes last. But sometimes they get processed along with the rest.
- Wonderful on halibut, great as a dip for veggies or bread. Usually when I prepare My Very Favorite Chicken Terrine (see here in Food.com), I will include a small bowl of Romesco Sauce on the platter along with the mustards, cornichon, and olives, because it adds a pretty color to the presentation.

ROMESCO SAUCE
A wonderful versatile Latin sauce originating in Spain with amazing flavors. It can be served with grilled chicken, fish and seafood, as a sauce for pasta, or alone as a dip. Once you try this, you will be hooked! Try using hazelnuts instead of the almonds. Can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 week. Tastes are enhanced if allowed to sit for a few hours.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic cloves onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the vegetables with some of the olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake in the preheated oven until the garlic has turned golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for 10 minutes. While the vegetables are cooling, bake the bread slice on one of the oven racks until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool.
- Scrape the vegetables and any juices from the pan into a food processor or blender. Break the bread into pieces, and add to the food processor along with the toasted almonds, vinegar, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Puree until finely ground, then drizzle in the remaining olive oil with the machine running. Season to taste with additional salt if necessary.
