Smokey Romesco Sauce
Every time I make this recipe at a party, it's a huge hit and everyone asks me for the recipe. I thought I'd finally share my secrets to the smokey delicacy - my modified low FODMAP, garlic free recipe that tastes even better than a traditional Romesco with almonds and garlic. It's amazing how the flavors come together when you add ingredients that are already so flavorful and delicious!
Red peppers and tomatoes are both high in lycopene, Vitamin C, B vitamins and Vitamin K. Hazelnuts are loaded with healthy fats, Vitamin E, manganese, copper and other minerals.
