Red Pepper – Almond Sauce

Prep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins

This vibrant red pepper and almond dip can be slathered on grilled chicken, fish or steak. Spoon it over baked potatoes. Eat it with tortilla or pita chips. Use it as a sandwich spread in place of mayo.

This dish can be assembled in a few minutes. The longest part is toasting the almonds (10 mins) and roastings the red peppers (20 mins)

 2 Red Bell Peppers (roasted or grilled)
 ¼ cup Almonds (toasted)
 5 tsp Red Wine Vinegar
 ¾ tsp Salt
 2 tbsp Olive Oil
 ½ tsp Paprika
 ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper or Chili Powder
 1 Garlic Clove
 Water as needed
Roast the red peppers

Preheat oven to 450F.
Cut peppers in half, remove the seeds and membranes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay peppers on the sheet, cut side down.
Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the skins are very dark.
Once the skins are blackened, remove from the oven.
Cover peppers with foil for about 10 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
Peel off the skin and discard.
