romesco

This classic Spanish sauce combines the flavors of roasted red peppers, garlic, tomatoes, and pimentón (smoked paprika) that will transport you immediately to a tapas bar in Spain. The flavors are complex, but this versatile recipe comes together very quickly. Enjoy it with Canary Island Wrinkled Potatoes (Papas Arrugadas), roast vegetables, with cauliflower steaks, or grilled meats, or as a dip with bread and crudites. Besides the fabulous flavor, this recipe is special to me because I first learned to make it at the Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives Conference, at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone. It was at this fateful conference where I realized I could, should, and really wanted to combine my love of cooking with my practice of medicine. I taught my first cooking class one week after the conference (and the rest is history).
