Romesco Sauce

Romesco Sauce, a perfect match for seafood yet incredibly versatile in so many other dishes.  Turn into Romesco Aoili as a dip for the soon to be started Spot Prawn season here on the west coast of BC.  Purchase right off the Steveston docks if you are a local!  Grill them fresh and alive seasoned with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. I digress a little more from the topic for a moment to mention how much I loved Spot Prawn season as they made my Paella’s looked spectacular!  Memories relived…now onto the Romesco.

Romesco added to Zarzuella, fisherman’s stew, for a kick or added to hummus to dip with fresh summer vegetables.  Healthy and Vegan! Enjoy…

    Paella Pan What a Discovery!

     

    I was on the search for interesting plates for presenting recipes on in some food shots. I decided go into Steveston’s little antique store and look around. After scouring every shelf I felt a little disappointed with the volumes of fine china and crappy crystal.

    Mexican Inspired Paella

    My husband James arrived home with chorizo and boneless chicken breast. As I’m looking at these wondering what he has in mind he says… “I was thinking you could make Paella“. God love him but shamefully our pantry is missing key ingredients. I was not going to ruin a dish I made so proudly for 20 years! Read the rest of this entry »
