Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 roasted red bell peppers*
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup tomato puree
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2-3/4 cup olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Blend together all of the ingredients then slowly add the oil to preference of thickness (the more oil the thinner the sauce will be).
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with fresh seafood, roasted vegetables, pasta, gnocchi, or just toasted bread!

Notes

You can use roasted red bell peppers from a jar or roast them in the oven under the broiler (on high for 2-3 min per side). Once they're charred on all sides place them in a paper bag until they cool then peel the skin off and remove the stem and seeds.
