Preparation for 4-Rib Rack Romesco Sandwiches

- While cooking, mix cream cheese with the thyme and rosemary and set aside.
- Peel the tomatoes and garlic, removing the skins.
- Place vegetables, nuts, and bread in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the vinegar and blend again. While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to combine. Season with salt. If the mixture seems too thick, drizzle in some additional olive oil.
- Toast sandwich bread on both sides and cut up the Rib Rack meat.
- Spread the herb cream cheese over one slice of bread and place the Rib Rack meat on top. Drizzle with romesco sauce and top with cheese, pickled onions, and the other slice of bread. ¡Buen provecho!
