My first experience with Romesco Sauce was from Sun Basket – a meal kit subscription service that I just love. Their sauces make the meal!

Any way, I loved their Romesco Sauce from the first bite. It’s such a unique blend of roasted red peppers, almonds, and paprika. While you can sometimes order a jar of their sauce with your meals, I only order meals from them occasionally.

I hunted down the ingredients they use and tweaked my own recipe until I had it just right!
