This Spanish-inspired dip proves a jar of roasted red peppers is one of the most underrated pantry staples in your kitchen. Drain roasted red peppers and toss them in a food processor with almonds, garlic, sherry vinegar, and olive oil and you’ve got something pretty darn luscious. This dip is a little bit smoky, a little bit nutty, a little bit sweet, and totally irresistible.
A Quick Spanish-Style Dip That Doubles as a Condiment
True romesco requires a few more ingredients and a bit more time — charring vegetables, adding extra nuts and spices — but we think our trimmed-down approach is just as delicious. While it’s not as rich as the original, it’s still got all the nutty sweetness that makes it so unique.
This dip is begging for crostini and raw vegetables, but it’s also worth setting some aside to use as a condiment. It’s great swiped on bread for sandwiches, folded into scrambled eggs, or spooned over steak. It can even enter sauce territory if you toss it with pasta, which I highly recommend.
