Romesco Butter Beans (No Chop!)

Romesco is a Spanish sauce made from roasted red peppers, almonds, and sometimes sun-dried tomatoes. This is my version that uses cashews instead of almonds and roasted red pepper from a jar to make the recipe easier.

The sauce ends up being creamy, smoky, and tangy, and pairs so well with butter beans and a crusty piece of bread.
