Spanish Romesco Sauce with Honey Oatmeal Applesauce Bread

The blogging world I meet many new bloggers and yes I get new inputs that I love to try. This Romesco Sauce   I saw on Sujata place called PepperonPizza.

I had to make it for Akanksha who goes to college at what feels like the crack of dawn. I can barely open my eyes and then getting in a conversation about her breakfast is impossible. Both of us do not want an argument first thing in the morning so I make chapatti for her. This sauce she will love to smear on it to eat. We had it on bread too.

Thanks, Sujata!!

The reason why I am posting this recipe now is that I am participating in Bake-a- ton. We are a group of bloggers and every year in December Srivalli, our gang leader organises it. We bake and post 3 days a week. The only condition is baked!!! Do try it out and join the fun.

  6. Red pepper is one of my favorite veggies – I love the sweet spicy flavor it has. Roasting enhances the sweetness and must have made this Romesco sauce taste amazing. Perfect for dipping or spreading.

  13. Once I had made a sauce with smoked pepper and it tasted awesome. This sauce is somewhat similar to that except you baked in the oven. Will certainly try your version as my kids loved the sauce but now it’s been a long time since I made. Nice twist to bakeathon
