Sastojci

1 pound Asparagus

1 1/2 cup Cherry Tomato

1 Jarred Roasted Red Peppers

1/2 teaspoon Salt

Upute

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wash and trim the Asparagus (1 lb), using a vegetable peeler to remove the tough skin of the bottom if it’s too thick. Set on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with the Cherry Tomato (1 1/2 cups). Drizzle with a tablespoon or so of Olive Oil (1/4 cup). sprinkle on a pinch of Salt (1/2 tsp) and Finely Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch) and toss to coat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until asparagus spears are tender when poked with a fork.

Once cooked, make the romesco sauce by placing 1 cup of the cooked cherry tomatoes into a food processor along with Jarred Roasted Red Peppers (1), Olive Oil. Almond Butter (3 Tbsp), Garlic (1 clove), juice from Lemon (1), Smoked Paprika (1/2 tsp) and salt. Blend until smooth.

To serve, arrange asparagus spears on a serving dish. Pour romesco sauce over the spears, top with remaining ½ cup of cherry tomatoes, and garnish with Almonds (1 handful).
