When you have grill-roasted red bell peppers on hand , you can make the flavorful Spanish-style Romesco sauce, which tastes best when made a day or two ahead so the flavors blend together. Then when you grill the potato fingerlings, you’ve got a quick and delicious appetizer. If you like, grill fresh fish fillets at the same time, and you have a whole meal.
