Romesco Sauce

Need a simple [and quick] idea for dinner? You may even have all of this in your fridge and pantry so no extra grocery run needed….


Think basil pesto, but winter! This sauce comes from the coast of Spain and is made of a bell pepper + tomato base. Another thing to know is that it’s an Oil-based sauce providing healthy sources of fat- so add this into your fat-focused meals for so much flavor!


What to serve with Romesco, you ask?

Zucchini + Summer Squash ribbons

Roasted Sheet-Pan Veggies

Sauteed Eggplant

Grilled Chicken, even on a sandwich

Top your Whitefish or baked Chicken
