1 tbsp of red wine or sherry vinegar
1/4 cup of toasted hazelnuts without the skin
(or toasted pinenuts)
Basil (Only if making pesto romesco)
Hot pepper flakes
Olive oil
Parmesan cheese (or 1 slice of stale bread)

Put all the ingredient into a food processor and blend until a smooth but slightly chunky consistency. Season with salt and pepper
