for the Crispy Shallots

Instructions

  1. Brush baguette slices with olive oil and season with Kosher salt. Toast baguette slices in a 350°F oven until lightly toasted.

for the Romesco Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Rub a little olive oil on both the pepper and tomato. Place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet and roast, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap for at least 10 minutes. Peel skin off of pepper and tomato. Remove seeds from pepper.
  2. Puree roasted pepper, roasted tomato, garlic, almonds, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in olive oil until completely incorporated and season generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

for the Crispy Shallots

  1. Heat about 1/2" of olive oil in a small fry pan over medium-high heat. Coat shallots in all purpose flour, shake to remove excess flour, and fry in batches until golden brown and crisp (about 25-45 seconds per batch). Remove to a paper towel lined plate and immediately sprinkle with Kosher salt.
