romesco sauce – you’ll be adding this to everything

This romesco sauce is so versatile and yummy. It has a perfect Spanish balance of vinegar, smoke, sweetness and is packed full of goodness. It can be made in a jiffy using ingredients that I always keep in my store cupboard.

A jar will last in the fridge for a week or two. I love having a jar in the fridge to add to pasta, spoon over fish or chicken; spread on toast and sandwiches or to dip raw veg or bread sticks into. I love it with avocado and eggs on toast too.

I made a starter for friends recently of toasted sourdough, spread with this and topped with roasted whole spring onions and goats cheese. It was so good alongside a glass of chilled sherry.
