Nytimes recipes fingerling potatoes6/29/2023 ![]() So rarely that I had to google a recipe for baked wings (can’t stomach the frying) and I settled on this recipe which seems easy and interesting. I have been convinced to make chicken wings by certain others, something I make very rarely. It is game day tomorrow and I will be there for the food, of course. Feel free to use any other variety of potato - baby potatoes, red potatoes, and russet potatoes all work. I absolutely love roasted fingerling potatoes with romesco sauce but charred broccoli or cauliflower are also irresistible. I haven’t tried it, but tossed with pasta sounds pretty delicious. Use romesco as a condiment in salad dressings, as a sauce for seafood, to serve alongside grilled vegetables and meat, or as a dip. You can think of romesco sauce as a “Spanish Ketchup” - it truly goes with everything. I find the nuts thicken the sauce sufficiently so I leave out the toasted bread. I prefer to use only almonds for convenience but any would work. Toasted almonds, or hazelnuts, are the nuts most commonly used to make romesco sauce. To replace the ñora peppers, I use ancho chili powder and smoked paprika which lend a mild smokiness without being too chili-powderish. I always have jarred roasted peppers on hand and they are much more convenient than roasting your own. In a fraction of the time, the vegetables become soft, slightly charred and smoky. How to make easy romesco sauceįor my recipe, instead of roasting whole tomatoes which take a while to char in the oven, I broil cherry tomatoes along with half an onion and a few cloves of garlic. In North America, most recipes for romesco leave them out and substitute with smoked paprika, and/or roasted red peppers. However, unlike Mexican dried chilis that are now sold nearly everywhere, ñora peppers are not easily found outside of Spain. ![]() The peppers are sold dried and then soaked before using, much like a Mexican pepper such as guajillo. To a Spaniard, ñora peppers are pretty crucial to the unique taste of romesco sauce. Smeared on toasted bread, is a really good idea. The smoky pungent sauce has been traditionally served as a condiment for fish, or meat and is just as delicious as a dip, or spread, with roasted vegetables. Though I like to use them in my romesco sauce, the inclusion of roasted red peppers and smoked paprika is still up for debate. The base of romesco sauce is roasted tomatoes, onions, and garlic, that get puréed along with toasted almonds, bread, raw garlic, sherry vinegar, and dried chili peppers. Romesco is a thick and rich Spanish sauce originating from the Catalonia region. ![]()
