Easy Romesco Sauce

I make this almost weekly. It’s so good and elevates any dish

I made a half batch to use as topping on a chicken, red quinoa and roasted vegetable bowl. I like romesco sauce and chose this recipe because I had sun dried tomatoes to use. Normally the sauce is made with roasted tomatoes. I did not rinse the oil off, adding only half of the olive oil that I needed to account for not rinsing. I used salted roasted almonds because I had them to use up. I did not halve the amount of almonds because other recipes used more. My husband doesn't like almonds by themselves but he liked this romesco a lot. He said the sauce was the best thing about the dish.

Maybe my olive oil was too strong. I only added half the amount called for, but it still seemed like too much. I added some nutritional yeast and dried minced onions to balance it out. Will probably just omit next time

Drain jarred red peppers well. No need to rinse oil-packed sundried tomatoes, just add less oil later. Use cherry peppers instead of red if you can get them for some kick.

Great dip for a crowd! Left it slightly chunky and topped it with paprika lime toasted almonds!
