Notes

  • This recipe makes 2 or more cups of romesco sauce. Nutrition information is a best estimate for 3 tablespoons per serving. 
  • Leftovers & Storage: store romesco sauce in the fridge in a tight-lid container for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months. Be sure to use a good freezer-safe container. 
  • To use fresh red peppers: you'll need 2 peppers roasted, roasted in the oven at 425 degrees F, turning over a couple times, until charred and soft (I brush them with a bit of olive oil first). Put them in a bowl and cover until you are able to easily slide the skins off. 
  • Use it with fish, chicken, meat, or vegetables. Read my post of more specific ideas!
