Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

While the vegetables are cooling, bake the bread slice on one of the oven racks until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool.

Steps:
- Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan for 3-4 mins until starting to turn golden and smelling toasted. Shake the pan often to turn them. Tip out and leave to cool.
- Drain the red peppers and tip into a food processor with the almonds, garlic, vinegar and smoked paprika, then blitz to a chunky paste.
- With the motor still on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to make a dip. A bit of texture works well for this rather than blending to a super smooth consistency. Season well, adding a little more vinegar, if you like.

ROMESCO CHICKEN
This recipe was a handout at my local Sam's Club this weekend. It tasted wonderful and the only sodium coming from the green olives. Top the dish off with some freshly shaved Parmesan cheese for a low, sodium, low fat meal. The wine pairing they suggest is a Chardonnay.

Steps:
- Chop the tomatoes and red onion, add the olive oil to a saute pan, when warm add the chopped tomato, onions and garlic.
- Cook until the vegetables are soft, put the mixture into a food processor; add the red wine vinegar and olives, pulse until blended but still maintains texture.
- For the chicken, over medium high heat heat the 1 teaspoon olive oil in saute pan, season the chicken with seasoning blend and add to pan.
- Saute the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Plate each breast and individual serving plates and top with about 2 tablespoon of the blended sauce mixture.
- Serve with a green salad, fresh bread and wine for a delicious meal.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. A whole chicken is ideal for this recipe, as it will provide plenty of meat for the sauce. Alternatively, you can use chicken breasts or thighs if you prefer. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Brown the chicken well. This will help to develop flavor and color in the sauce. Be sure to brown the chicken in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Use a good quality white wine. The wine will add flavor and acidity to the sauce. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking on its own.
- Don't be afraid to add vegetables. Vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to the sauce. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
- Simmer the sauce until it has thickened. This will help to develop the flavor and make the sauce more spoonable. Be sure to stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
