If you ask me, you can never have too many condiments on hand, and they taste even better when homemade. This Spanish sauce is packed with almonds or hazelnuts, fruity roasted tomatoes, garlic, and earthy dried peppers. Stale bread makes its appearance when it’s moistened with vinegar, smashed to a paste, and mixed with the other broken-down ingredients. The good thing about romesco sauce is that everything from the proportions of ingredients to the finishing texture is up to your discretion. Whether you like it thin and smooth or thick and chunky, the sauce work well on roasted meats or grilled fish, in soups, and even as a spread for your favorite sandwich.
