Romesco is a deli­cious sauce made by puree­ing roasted red pep­pers, toma­toes, almonds and olive oil…almost like a Spanish-style pesto. We opted for some sun-dried toma­toes, just to add in a lit­tle con­cen­trated tomato fla­vor as well as some sherry vine­gar and smoked paprika~deepening the deli­cious­ness. A mod­er­ately robust Spanish EVOO is ideal for this recipe, adding in a lit­tle pep­per and fruit to the over­all fla­vor of the dish.
