Herbies Spices Recipes
Romesco Sauce
Description
Popular in Spain, this sauce is so delicious you have to be careful that no-one catches you eating it out of the jar with a spoon! The combination of ripe, fresh Mediterranean vegetables, roasted nuts and Spanish paprika is irresistable, and this should be a barbecue stand-by during the summer months.
