Romesco Sauce combines roasted red peppers with lemons, tomatoes, almonds and garlic to create a versatile, simple sauce, dip or marinade.

Ingredients: *Makes 3-4 cups

  • 3 red peppers (or 1 jar pre-roasted peppers)
  • 3 large tomatoes
  • Juice of one lemon
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 Tbsp. parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Roast red peppers in oven or on gas stovetop. Remove skins and seeds.
