One of my favorite sauces to have in the fridge is romesco! Romesco is a Spanish sauce that is made from roasted red tomatoes / or roasted red peppers, toasted nuts, and olive oil. In my recipe I use jarred roasted red peppers, tomato paste, and almonds to make a flavorful sauce that is great for dipping or with chicken or fish. I almost always have some in my fridge that helps brighten just about any meal.
Try out this romesco sauce to elevate your weeknight dinners or lunch salads!
