Time 35m

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 red bell peppers
1 small clove garlic, smashed
1/2 cup blanched almonds, toasted
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon pimenton (smoked paprika)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Char peppers over the flame of a gas stove, turning with tongs, until blackened and blistered. (Or char under broiler on a rimmed baking sheet, turning as needed.) Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate, and let steam 15 minutes. Remove skins, using paper towels (and a paring knife for any stubborn spots); discard. Remove and discard stems, ribs, and seeds.
  • Transfer peppers to a food processor. Add garlic, almonds, vinegar, tomato paste, and pimenton. Pulse until combined. With machine running, slowly add oil, processing until combined. Season with salt.
