CHEF'S NOTES
Romesco is a typical Spanish sauce which originated in Tarragona in the autonomous region of Catalunya.
As with many traditional Spanish sauces, it's thickened with bread, olive oil and ground almonds or hazelnuts, depending on the region.. Almonds were originally far more prevalent in the south and hazelnuts more common in the north.
They are mixed with roasted garlic, olive oil and and ground dried red peppers in a mortar.
