Romesco is a rich Spanish sauce of charred tomatoes and roasted red peppers, puréed and thickened with toasted almonds and bread. I have simplified the sauce a bit and used what I had in the pantry. Romesco sauce that can be served over vegetables like broccoli or peas and/or with pasta or polenta. There are many variations of the sauce on the Internet. Feel free to customize.
