To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

  • teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

  • Salt, as needed
  • Black pepper, as needed



Preparation

  1. Place the oil, garlic, almonds, smoked paprika, and cayenne in the Anyday dish and mix to combine.
  2. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave for 3 minutes, or until almonds begin to toast and garlic is fragrant.

  4. Allow the sauce to cool and use as desired.

Suggestions

  • For added texture, add chopped black olives or capers after blending.
  • Add fresh basil and toss with small mozzarella pearls for a quick antipasto dish.

Recipe Notes

  • Save Time with Anytime Trays: Allow sauce to cool, for about 10-15 minutes. Portion sauce evenly into the Anytime Trays, cover with lid, and freeze.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
