Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper roasted, peeled and seeded (or from jarred)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes canned, fire-roasted, drained
- 2 tablespoon almonds blanced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 lice white bread torn into pieces
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in your food processor. Process until a coarse sauce forms. The sauce will be thick but still able to pour. If too thick, add a small amount of water or tomato juice until you reach a pourable consistency.
- Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 10 days. If desired, gently heat in a small saucepan and serve warm, or, serve at room temperature (let the sauce sit out for about an hour before serving).

- We use jarred roasted red bell pepper for this sauce. However, you can roast your own. Simply hold the pepper over a gas flame, or place it under the broil, and cook, turning frequently, until dark and charred all over. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, use your fingers to pull the skin from the pepper. Use a knife to remove the stem and open up the pepper and remove the seeds.
- Fire-roasted tomatoes are our favorite, but plain diced tomatoes will work just fine.
- The sauce will keep covered in the fridge for up 7 to 10 days and freezes nicely for up to 2 months.
