Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 12-oz. jar roasted red peppers
- 4-5 plum tomatoes (I used canned whole tomatoes and saved the rest for another recipe)
- 3/4 cup raw almonds (or walnuts)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)*
- 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Handful of fresh parsley (about 1/4 cup), if you have it
Instructions
- Blend ingredients. Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender (or food processor) and blend until completely smooth.
Notes
- Optional garlic mellowing step: Place vinegar and garlic cloves in your blender first, and purée. Allow to sit for five minutes to balance the garlic's bite. Then, proceed with blending the remaining ingredients.
- Vinegar: I love using an aged sherry vinegar for a less "vinegary" taste (the aging process takes the edge off). Red wine vinegar or another light vinegar works as well!
