This Spanish sauce boasts the robust flavors of roasted red peppers, tangy sherry vinegar, and toasted nuts. Almonds and whole garlic cloves quickly toast in the microwave, softening the aromatics in the time it takes to heat a skillet on the stovetop. Prepare a generous batch, freeze it in an Anytime Tray, and have it ready for later use!
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
