Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup jarred roasted red peppers (drained - or 2 large red bel peppers, roasted over a gas stove flame and peeled)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (halved and roasted)
  • ¼ cup raw almonds (roasted)
  • 3 large garlic cloves (peeled)
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Roast the almonds and halved tomatoes in the oven at 325F. for 10 minutes, stirring the almonds halfway through. Remove the almonds, and increase the heat to 400F. and continue roasting until the tomatoes are done. If they start to look too dry, you can drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top. Roast until they are soft.

  • Transfer them all to a blender. I used a pot and stick blender because that's all I have here at the moment. But a regular blender will work too.
