Carrot Romesco Sauce
From The Good LFE Cookbook, as with all our recipes, this Romesco follows the Low Fermentation Eating diet and is designed to be "SIBO friendly" and promote gut health.
Typically made with peppers, this carrot-based Romesco is a nutritious, versatile spread that can be used as a dip with crackers or crostini, as a topping for baked fish, or tossed with pasta for a quick weeknight dinner. It also makes a great vegan ravioli filling.

- 4 carrots cut into large chunks
