STEP 1
To make the tabbouleh, tip all of the ingredients into a large bowl with lots of seasoning and mix really well.

For the romesco sauce, put the peppers, along with the olive oil, into a high powered blender or food processor. Add the almonds, garlic and sherry vinegar, along with some seasoning, and whizz until completely smooth.
