Romesco-style tomato sauce

I developed this recipe for the off-roading challenge as an adaptation of Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce with Onions and Butter. That sauce evokes cozy, homey cooking, the kind of cooking I want to do on a snowy weekend. With summer fast approaching, I wanted to shift the recipe to flavors that work well with fresh-off-the-grill food and the summertime spirit. <br /> <br />Romesco is one of my favorite pairings for seafood and roasted vegetables, summertime staples. Rich yet heart-healthy, packed with almonds and flavor, it's a cozy accompaniment to many dishes. By combining the two sauces and using tomatoes as the base for the Romesco instead of red pepper, the acidity gets bumped up and the flavor takes on all the joy of fresh summer tomatoes.
