I'm an Indian and I have no clue about Half of the things used to make sauces and dips but but the recipies in food wishes makes it so much easier to comprehend and even replicate it to an extent.
You got it right, Chef John. Moved here to the US from Catalunya, and we use almonds AND hazel nuts, both roasted on the open flame. And the mixing is done typically (nowadays) with a "minipimer," or stick mixer. Super simple. And delicious! It's eaten with meats and potatoes.
Chef, your voice has the perfect rhythm for putting to sleep my son. Thanks for that, I also love the recipes but mostly for helping me with that. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This romesco sauce recipe of Cheff John is an all time favorite of mine. I made it a couple of times to bring along to a nice evening with friends, and every single time it was a roaring success. People always underestimate this sauce, till they dip one little corner of their bread in it, then they can't get enough.
Incredible! Thank you for a wonderful recipe. This is the first video I have seen by this chef. His voice is pleasant and easily understandable, but if I had to listen to the same rollercoaster tone for much longer, someone would come up missing! That is how annoying it is to me. But I appreciate the recipe fully.
Chef John is such a hip hop head. lol And I ain't even joking. The amount of hip hop references and lyrical quotes in all his videos, and it's a lot of videos(1000+), is through the roof.
This guy really KEEPS my interest with his STEADY undulations of VOCAL pitch, regardless of the WORDS he's saying. It CRACKS me up! I LOVE this channel and the FEATURED foodstuffs! A+ content.
4th spot has to go to chimichurri provided that its Chef John's chimichurri. Every time I make it for a party, I always make about 3x's as much as I would normally need because people always want to take some home.
I looked this up in Spanish on TH-cam and found countless versions posted by Spaniards. It’s a dish from Catalonia, Spain. The folks who want to secede from the rest of Spain, you know. Anyway, they use tomatoes also which they roast in the oven or on a pan on the stove top along with the garlic and a slice of bread (no frying). They use dehydrated peppers called Ñoras which are shorter and rounder than the American ball peppers you use and which are seeded, rehydrated, the pulp scraped off the skin and used for the recipe. And lastly they used hazelnuts besides the almonds. How about that?they seem to prefer an immersion blender too, instead of a food processor. Love your channel. This is not a criticism just sharing. I’ve not doubt both the original and yours are absolutely delicious and as I’m unsure if I can get any Ñoras stateside I’ll like be doing a version myself of both yours and theirs. Keep up great work, chef John. And as always...enjoy!
Ñoras are availale in the US, apparently. Here (Cataluña) Romesco's eaten mostly with a special type of "spring onion" called calçots, which are charred and peeled and dipped in the sauce. Exquisite.
I agree with the day after effect - so much better when the flavours have melded but I recommend you try using some dried mild peppers like they do in Spain (500-1000SHU). It also saves a tonne of prep which is always a plus in my book!
Your roasting peppers on top of stove reminds me of a true story from my grad school days in early 70's, at a major midwestern university. We lived in married student apartments. As did many foreign students, arrived in America for the first time. One such woman from a third world country, unfamiliar with american appliances, proceeded to cook steaks on top of the gas stove. Sans pan. Laid directly on the open eye. The result was a quick call to the fire department, and fortunately the blaze was contained with damage only to the kitchen of the apartment.
To prepare this sauce in my region of Spain we normally bake two mature red peppers, one medium size fresh onion and a whole head of garlics wrapped in alluminumpaper for 1h 180ºC. We usually fry bread with the garlics but that's too fatty. Better put it in the oven as well with just a touch of olive oil. What's important to fry are the dry fruits. Always raw. Hazelnuts or almonds. If you put them with the skin you can find something tough to chew. I normally take advantage and I fry a lot of almonds. I make sauce but the rest are delicious with a good pinch of salt, lemon zest and cayenne.
I've roasted red ball peppers hundreds of times, when I'm in a hurry I use the sink, it really is much faster/easier, but it does hurt the flavor, just watered down, you can see the water turning red, it definitely washes away some of the pepper. Peeling them dry kinda sucks, but they taste much better. I know chef John, I'm crazy.
I love your vídeos. I am also gluten Free, and I find using chickpeas (don't roast them, use them cooked but if you roast them they become hard) to substitute the bread makes a very similar flavour and b texture
huh, good to know, i did something very similar to this out of the blue once, back when i was on the line, cause we had alot of roasted red peppers in the fridge. Never knew it had an official name!
Just came back from England and had romesco for the first time. I was looking at where to buy romesco just today! Weird I happen to find this video when looking at another unrelated video!
You already have 2 catalan sauces in your mount rushmore and you're lacking a fourth one, why don't you try salsa brava? maybe it will do the trick. Great videos!
I know this is an older video, but I just discovered this sauce and had some roasted peppers lying about. I used your other suggestions and the sauce came out great! I tossed it with some chicken and served it with mashed sweet potatoes, it was delicious. I will certainly try it just on bread, but I imagine ot goes great on pretty much everything. Thanks for the easy recipe!
I've never had Romesco, but I have to say that's a bold and unique combination of flavors. Peppers, almonds and bread? I never would have thought to put them all together.
Chef john, looks great, i cannot believe on one of the t.v. food based networks that they have not contacted you about doing maybe a 1/2 hour show on recipes. I love your internet presentations, but you just have the personality,charisma, voice, etc... to be on t.v., and this video is only a recipe for a sauce, just a sauce and it shows it was posted on 06/22/18, and you already have 82,000 views, with over 2 million subscribers, i think you may be popular. I started watching a t.v. network called "create" and you would be a perfect prime time show for them. I also watch the travel channel because i, and i think most people want to see shows with hands on made recipes. Other than triple D with Guy fieri, the food network has went to left field on most of their shows. It is more about competitve chef competitions than actually learning or increasing your cookink skills.it is like all day episodes of chopped, or cake wars, cupcake wars, kids chopped, kids cupcake wars, iron chef america, iron chef japan, you learn nothing, and you have more to offer as far as learning,advancing my cooking techniques than any of those shows. Oops, forgot beat bobby flay, i do like his show and he can pretty much cook with on par or above any chef. Plus he is irish and so am i so its kind of an unwritten rule that i must support him, but he does make it easy
Not to be a party pooper but I for one am glad then Chef John's videos are available for everyone and anyone to watch on TH-cam rather than on the major Food Network!
PJ Rehder whoa whoa pal, i did not say get rid of the you tube videos, if its between this and t.v. then i say keep the you tube, i was just saying he has the talent, personality, voice, etc... to be on t.v. with his own show, have a nice day
Romesco sauce is from Catalunya. My grandmother and my mum always made it. What you propose is probably delicious, but is totally different from the original Romesco, so that you know...
in spain we eat romesco with roasted green onions called "calçots". The canon recipe has ñora (a kind of dry pepper) instad of powder smoked paprika. Nice spanish recipes John, keep it up!
I’m Spanish and this sauce is good for seafood especiallly with fish, if you wanna add more flavor to this sauce mix it with alioli (spanish mayonnaise with garlic)
You are after all the bees knees, when you spread your Romesco on a slice of bread with cheese, great vid, always wondered what other sauces there were, might try this some day.

This is one of the best food channels ever !!!!!!

THIS is the flavor or the Mediterranean!

I just made this without the almonds and it's incredible, ty Chef John!
Just made this today and it's delicious! I served it over salmon and green beans. My wife loved it!
Just made this, and it is now one of my favourites. Chef John strikes again!
if you can't eat bread, those are the breaks! chef john, you are the bomb!
Chef John is such a hip hop head. lol And I ain't even joking. The amount of hip hop references and lyrical quotes in all his videos, and it's a lot of videos(1000+), is through the roof.
CommentCop Badge#666 he definitely owns a kango
Yah- gonna tear the roof off that sucker.....
Made this last night to go with our lamb chops and portabellas cooked on the grill. FANTASTIC
Preppa the peppa. Just makes my heart happy.
or preppa da peppa. LOL!!!!!!
Exellent instructions with a hint of comedy. So enjoyable to watch.
This guy really KEEPS my interest with his STEADY undulations of VOCAL pitch, regardless of the WORDS he's saying. It CRACKS me up! I LOVE this channel and the FEATURED foodstuffs! A+ content.
Thank you for showing how to use it.. I've never heard of it before and was wondering what you did with it...
Chef John I just love how u say "whoops, there we go". I kept repeating that particular part over & over. U're the best
Your videos helped me and my groupmates create this Romesco sauce for our innovative products for pasta 😍 you are the best
"Breaks on a bus breaks on a cars breaks to make you a super star" you the man old school 👍👍👍 love your videos
Those fire-roasted green onions look delicious!😍🤤
4th spot has to go to chimichurri provided that its Chef John's chimichurri. Every time I make it for a party, I always make about 3x's as much as I would normally need because people always want to take some home.
bigwoo agreed!! And it will last for weeks in the fridge if you happen to be single
But this sauce in the video I've never made seems like hummus
I’ve seen this made many diff ways, but this recipe seems to be the quickest 👍🏼
I’ve only ever made this with walnuts, never seen almonds before. Gonna have to give this a try!
Chef John you have enriched my cooking so much. Thank you!!
Watching your videos is so comforting tbh
amazing texture .....superb....thanks chef

I honestly can’t get enough of those American ball peppers 🏈 😂 peace and hugs KP
Always the best recipes from John!

Chef John this sounds and looks fantastic, Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🐨👍🏻
I have never heard of this, but you putting it side to side with aiolli and pesto made me want to try!
I can't find kosher salt in Brazil, how can I substitute for table salt?
You can use sea salt, or use table salt, but use 1/3-1/2 the amount. Chef does have a video explaining why.
chef john you are the best I love you'r recipes and i wish meet you in person

So happy for this one! I've never had this sauce and it looks easy.
I JUST made a Romesco sauce two days ago! Damn! I wish I would have known the great Chef John was going to release his own version!
Wow all my fav cooking shows today are YOU!
Chef John I made this and it’s divine 😍. Thank you 😊
Just made it. It was fun to do and awesome!!! I had everything accept the almonds in my kitchen. Having a stocked kitchen is a great feeling. :)
I love you Chef John!😘
Once again the master at work.....looks great😁
"the breaks" lol...I imagine not everyone got that reference. Perfect timing.

I am telling you Chef John is a rap head!
Chef John's videos are a freshly made lemonade in a hot summer day.
This sauce is very very delicious. Need reminding of the recipe for second time I'm making it
You're the man, chef John.
I've roasted red ball peppers hundreds of times, when I'm in a hurry I use the sink, it really is much faster/easier, but it does hurt the flavor, just watered down, you can see the water turning red, it definitely washes away some of the pepper.

Oh how gorgeous I can't wait to try this masterpiece. Thank You very much.
Thanks to the garlic shrimp episode I found some Spanish hot paprika. It is super great. Thanks chef.

Looks delicious I'll try this definitely.
His flow is impeccable.. This man should be rapper.. Chef john can save hip hop one ingredient at a time 😅.. The way he ends every sentence lol
Always with the same toneeeeee
huh, good to know, i did something very similar to this out of the blue once, back when i was on the line, cause we had alot of roasted red peppers in the fridge. Never knew it had an official name!

Looks amazing. Extra points for the Curtis Blow reference!
Awesome sauce ...really good
Never heard of it until now. I’ll definitely try this soon! Thanks, chef!
I know this is an older video, but I just discovered this sauce and had some roasted peppers lying about. I used your other suggestions and the sauce came out great! I tossed it with some chicken and served it with mashed sweet potatoes, it was delicious. I will certainly try it just on bread, but I imagine ot goes great on pretty much everything. Thanks for the easy recipe!
You have the same exact bench scraper as mine!! It’s a good one too!!
That looks so yummy. Gonna try this baby.
Looks delicious. What can I use instead of Sheri vinegar?
Of all the great food channels out there, I sub only to you.
I've never had Romesco, but I have to say that's a bold and unique combination of flavors. Peppers, almonds and bread? I never would have thought to put them all together.
I really love the taste..
Thanku for the subtitles very very sensible

Marc Ben i am not quite sure what you mean friend ?
I saw this in master chef and it looked so good
Reminds me of the muhammara except with almonds instead of walnuts.
My girlfriend was watching over my shoulder and said that's way too much garlic...
She's moving out tomorrow
Thunderwear I’m sorry for your loss, but it will be worth it in the end.
the ends justify the means.
Tomorrow? Throw her out tonight
It's just one more night, you can make it I promise. It will be worth the wait.
Thunderwear well, you have a romesco...you haven't lost much
You are the UNESCO boss of your Romesco sauce!
Food wishes on trending wow I’m so proud
Hey chef, can you make some Peruvian green sauce? It goes great with bread and meats.
Romesco sauce is from Catalunya. My grandmother and my mum always made it. What you propose is probably delicious, but is totally different from the original Romesco, so that you know...
Will definitely be trying this recipe, thanks Chef John!
so similar to muhammara! love that stuff
in spain we eat romesco with roasted green onions called "calçots".
The canon recipe has ñora (a kind of dry pepper) instad of powder smoked paprika.
Nice spanish recipes John, keep it up!
I’m Spanish and this sauce is good for seafood especiallly with fish, if you wanna add more flavor to this sauce mix it with alioli (spanish mayonnaise with garlic)
You had my heart with the oil hitting all those garlic!
Chef John your AWESOME !!!!
Oh this looks and sounds so bomb! 😍
Excellent !👍🥰Yummmm !
You are after all the bees knees, when you spread your Romesco on a slice of bread with cheese, great vid, always wondered what other sauces there were, might try this some day.
I made this. It is amazing!
Thanks Chef! This looks amazing.
love to see that you do some amazing vegan food now too!
well done
Try it with anchovies, it's absolutely amazing.
Question everything without the experience.. experience counts for everything xxx
Tomato is a MUST. Good recipe tho. Word from a catalonian chef :)
That's a few flavor combinations I've never tried. Looks yummy.
Chef John, are there any baconless steamer clam recipes in our future?
Thanks for another great video chef John! :)
the upspeak is so soothing to me
Looks delicious! You good cook
That looks AMAZING!
