- Romescu
- Romesco is a sauce from Catalonia made with roasted red peppers or ñora peppers, ripe tomatoes, toasted almonds or hazelnuts, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and a slice of fried bread, all blended into a thick, rustic paste. It traditionally accompanies grilled spring onions called calçots, as well as grilled vegetables, fish, and seafood, especially around Tarragona.
