Ingredients

  • 1x 225g block halloumi, sliced thickly into 8 pieces
  • A few handfuls watercress
  • 4 ciabatta buns, toasted
  • 1 x 480g jar roasted red peppers, drained (320g drained weight)

Directions

1.

Combine

Combine the drained peppers, almonds, bread, tomatoes, garlic, smoked paprika, sherry vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil in a blender with some salt. Whizz to a paste. Check the seasoning – the romesco should be both sweet and sour. Add some more salt if necessary, then set aside.
