Romesco Sauce

Toasted almonds, roasted red peppers and bread hardly sound like the base for a sauce that can change the way you think about sauces, but give this recipe a try and prepare to be knocked off your feet. Here at June we use romesco on everything from chicken and other proteins to pasta, eggs and vegetables. Its smoky, nutty savoriness is the perfect complement to pretty much anything you can throw at it, and your June makes it easy for you to whip it together without breaking a sweat. Be sure to use good-quality, rustic bread for best results.
