Here’s the deal. This beautiful thing I’m showing you is called Romesco Sauce and it is in the business of saving the Summer Meal.

You know, the Summer Meal for the day where you’ve been outside all day or a lot of the day or, to be honest, none of the day (!!!!) which means that now it’s 6pm and you need to get outside ASAP because SUMMER IS AMAZING. It’s the day when the best possible meal would be one that could involve as little time as possible indoors.

How to Make Romesco Happen

Let’s get this happening up in your life right. now.

Do you have a blender? And do you have a small spatula to preserve every last lick? Awesome – then we are set.

Plop these items in your blender or food processor. Give them a go-round a few times till everything gets nice and friendly with each other:

  • Roasted red peppers – you can make your own and we’ll all be proud of you! but it’s summer and the whole point here is to NOT spend a ton of time in the kitchen so the rest of us will be over here with our jarred roasted red peppers and we’ll be proud of ourselves, too.
  • Plum tomatoes – canned is fine but HECK YES it’s summer and HECK YES there are tomatoes growing in your garden and HECK YES you can use them here.
  • Almonds – they make it more textured and more thickened and generally just satisfying and interesting. which is just how I like my food.
  • Olive oil – we’re talking creamy-like emulsion here. DREAMS COMING TRUE.
  • Lemon juicegarlic, parsley, and salt – the makers of good-tasting food.

ANNNNND GO.

What to Serve with Romesco

Do we even need to talk about what this sauce could be paired with or is your mind already spinning with ideas? (Leave a comment I’m greedy for your ideas 👇 )

Most recently, I had this Romesco Sauce over chicken mozzarella meatballs (but for real) and crispy potatoes which basically makes the BEST combo for meal prep. In case you’re wondering, I made broccoli to go with it which conveniently got charred to a crisp and wasn’t able to join the party. Some things are just not meant to be, amiright?

Romesco Sauce plus poached eggs sound pretty amazing, as does grilled chicken slash grilled ANYTHING with a shmear of this over top.

This is the lifesaver of the Summer Meal and I think you’re going to love it because around here we are lovers of all the sauces. Cheers to you and your Romesco Sauce adventures. Go forth and be saucy!

Common Questions About Romesco Sauce

Can I make this without nuts?

Yes, you could sub in sunflower or pumpkin seeds/pepitas. Some classic romesco sauces actually use a piece of crusty bread to thicken the sauce as well, so that’s an option as well if you’re not gluten-free!

Can I roast my own peppers instead of using jarred?

Look at you, fancy! Yes, you can. A jar of roasted red peppers *should* be about two peppers, but feel free to weigh out 12 ounces after roasting.

Can I used canned plum tomatoes instead of fresh?

Yep! Highly recommend those summer-fresh tomatoes though.

Notes

You can used sliced almonds but since you’ll be able to pack more into a cup, use about 3/4 cup vs. the whole almonds where you would use a full cup. This is a very forgiving recipe. Add or subtract as you like, but the almonds do help thicken the whole thing so don’t omit those!

If you have a nut allergy, try sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds instead.
