ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH CASHEW ROMESCO



Roasted Vegetables With Cashew Romesco image

Crisp yet fork-tender roasted vegetables get a spirited lift from a lively romesco sauce made with just a few ingredients. Each plays an important role: Roasted red peppers form the base of the sauce, cashews add creaminess and a bit of crunch, smoked paprika - along with other spices - provide a grounding depth. The sherry vinegar delivers a vibrant sparkle, and you can add more to your taste. Broccoli and cauliflower are the vehicles for the sauce here, but any combination of vegetables will work. The romesco will last for up to 1 week in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 1 large head), trimmed and cut into 2½-inch-long florets
1 1/2 pounds cauliflower (about 1 large head), trimmed and cut into 2½-inch-long florets
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1/4 cup roasted unsalted cashews
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3 jarred roasted red peppers, drained (about 11 ounces)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the broccoli and cauliflower on a sheet pan in an even layer. Drizzle with 1/4 cup oil, toss to coat and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Roast until the vegetables are crisp and lightly browned around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, in the bowl of a food processor, pulse the cashews and garlic until finely chopped. Add the roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pulse to incorporate. While the food processor is going, drizzle in the remaining ¼ cup of oil. Turn off, taste and add more salt and sherry vinegar to season if necessary. The sauce should be thick but spreadable and should easily drop off a spoon when lifted.
  • Transfer the hot roasted broccoli and cauliflower to a serving platter. Spoon the cashew romesco on top. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Cut broccoli into uniform florets: This will ensure even cooking. Cut the florets about 1 inch in size.
  • Blanch the broccoli before stir-frying: Blanching helps retain the broccoli's vibrant color and crisp-tender texture. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the broccoli florets, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the cashews before adding them to the stir-fry: Toasting the cashews enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the dish. Toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent the broccoli and cashews from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
  • Stir-fry the broccoli and cashews over high heat: This will help create a nice char on the broccoli and cashews and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add the sauce ingredients towards the end of cooking: This will help prevent the sauce from burning. Stir in the sauce ingredients and cook until the broccoli is coated in the sauce.
  • Serve the broccoli with cashews immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Broccoli with toasted cashews is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The broccoli is blanched before stir-frying to retain its vibrant color and crisp-tender texture. The cashews are toasted to enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the dish. The stir-fry is flavored with a simple sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is sure to please everyone at the table.
