Hazelnut Romesco Sauce

Posted November 1, 2011 by Leslie Myers
This sauce originated in the Catalonian region of Spain. Classically Romesco sauce contains bread crumbs, but we figured that we would give it a more contemporary twist and make it gluten-free. We love its thick, silky texture, the smoky flavors from the peppers and onions and the vibrancy from the sherry vinegar. If you can’t find pimenton; substitute smoked paprika. We have been enjoying this on roasted brussel sprouts.

For a crowd or informal buffet dinner, set out taco meat, wrappers and bowls of assorted salsas, guacamole, cashew cream and vegetables and have your own fiesta

Zucchini Ribbon, Sweet Cherry Tomato, Feta and Pinenut Salad
