This roasted red pepper sauce, which pairs well with grilled meat, poultry, and fish, has a smoky flavor that is balanced by fresh tomato and rich almonds. To keep the sauce from becoming too strong, we add toasted bread to the mix. The bread tempers the sauce’s assertive flavor while thickening at the same time.
Ingredients
1-2 slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
12 ounces roasted red peppers (1 jar), drained (about 1 ¾ cups)
1 small tomato, cored, seeded, and chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1½ tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 large garlic clove, minced
