The typical Catalan romesco sauce is a zesty blend of almonds, olive oil, red peppers and sometimes, tomatoes. In this green version, roasted green and poblano peppers, tomatillos and smoked almonds give the classic a fresh twist and contemporary flavor.

6 oz. roasted tomatillos
7 oz. roasted poblano peppers
5 oz. smoked almonds
2 oz. day old baguette

1 oz. red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 oz. extra virgin olive oil
