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.

Everything about the website and services I utilized appeared so real and authentic, but I realized something wasn’t right when they stopped responding to my messages and emails. Since I had no idea what to do or how to approach it, I was prepared to concede defeat. until I spoke with a friend about it, and he suggested that I get in touch with Recovery Nerd (recoverynerd@mail.com) to help me recover the money I had invested. which I did, they were quite helpful and made a lot of effort to return all of my money. To anyone who has been defrauded of their money, I would heartily recommend them.
