    Curious as to the reasoning between the difference in ingredients in some of your romesco sauces, is it just due to what you have on hand or? i’ve made most of them. the one with tomato paste is my favorite so far 😉

      This version is the classic, which takes longer to make, the other with the tomato paste is a short-cut 🙂 Much love!
