Romesco is the sauce you didn't know you needed in your cooking repertoire. There is a TON of flexibility to how you can make it, which allows you to vary ingredients to match your dish. You can use different nuts, or swap in a crusty bread. Use tomatoes instead of red peppers. Best of all, it's another blend and serve dish. Heck yes. Use Google to explore your options.
For today's dish we decided to pair the romesco sauce with beautiful roasted cheddar cauliflower. There is really no difference in taste, but has a lovely yellow hue. We poured the sauce over top the roasted cauliflower for an easy to pull together side for dinner. Enjoy.

In May, my credit scores were 486 (TransUnion), 514 (Equifax), and 523 (Experian). When I applied for a mortgage loan in June, I was denied due to my low FICO scores. I turned to Reddit to ask for advice on how to improve my credit. I received numerous suggestions about H A C K M A V E N S . I reached out to him, and he replied promptly. I shared all the details about my credit situation, but I was hesitant to release my funds to him. He assured me that he could fix my credit, and I would pay for his services once the job was completed, which I agreed to. After three days, I received a notification from Experian saying, “Congrats, your FICO Score has increased!” I quickly logged in to check, and to my surprise, he had raised my scores to 806 (TransUnion), 814 (Equifax), and 816 (Experian). All negative items on my credit report were removed; no inquiries, no collections. I’m incredibly thankful. I just received better credit card offers. H A C K M A V E N S is amazing! You can reach him via email at H A C K M A V E N S 5 AT G M A I L DOT COM or call/text/Whats-App at [+1 (2 0 9) 4 1 7 – 1 9 5 7]. Don’t forget to mention that I, Anna, referred you to him.
