Romesco is a sauce originating in Tarragona, Catalonia, that is typically made from almonds and hazelnuts, roasted garlic, olive oil and nyores – small, dried red peppers. It is perhaps most often served with seafood, but can also be served with a wide variety of other foods including poultry and vegetables, particularly calçots.

I created this dish last year for a Christmas dinner. Based on a the traditional recipe and adding some oriental inspiration while using only traditional Spanish ingredients, the results are surprising yet somehow familiar. A very successful creation, guaranteed to excel at any occasion.
