Grilled Leeks with Romesco Sauce
Over at Serious Eats, I've been on the sauce trail for nearly a year now. This has me concocted sauces nearly as much as I've been grilling, which now dictates a life constantly on the search for new condiments to try out at home, and pair with grilling as often as possible. Romesco—a roasted red pepper and almond spread originating in the Catalonia area of Spain—is one stellar example of this. As soon as I tried it for the first time at local favorite Il Bambino, I was quickly in the kitchen making my own, then enjoying it with excellent grilled leeks.

More Sauce ReviewsSpicewine Ironworks Blue Collar B-B-Q Sauce hits heavy with the tomato, which may be a tad too dominante out of the jar, but finds a nice balance with some added sweetness after being grilled.

More Sauce ReviewsWith it's simple, uncomplicated flavors, this sauce can do no harm to whatever you want to use it for. You won't find much heat here, but you do get a barbecue sauce with a deep sweetness that accomplishes a feat in not being sugary at the same time. The tomato, molasses, Worcestershire, and vinegar combo give it a ubiquitous barbecue sauce flavor that retains all it's defining characteristics both out of the jar and after being cooked.

More Sauce ReviewsMade with Ghost peppers—the hottest peppers in the world—this sauce is unexpectedly balanced in its flavor. While this may be a disappointment for heat seekers, it does make it an above average sauce that could have a variety of uses and appeal to a larger base than just chile fans.
