Ingredients
-
3 large red bell peppers
-
½ cup olive oil
-
8 cloves garlic
-
1 cup cubed stale bread
-
¾ cup roasted almonds
-
¼ cup sherry vinegar
-
1 tablespoon smoked Spanish paprika
-
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Directions
-
Turn on a gas stove and roast bell peppers over the open flame until soft and blackened, about 5 minutes per side. Peppers should emit steam when pressed. Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover, and let cool to room temperature.
-
Combine oil and garlic in a skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic just starts to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Move garlic to a ramekin using a slotted spoon, leaving all the oil in the skillet.
-
Toast bread in the oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Peel peppers under running water. Cut peppers open and remove the seeds. Chop into cubes and transfer to a food processor. Add garlic, bread cubes with oil, almonds, vinegar, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Pulse on and off until sauce is well combined and reaches your desired texture.
-
Transfer sauce to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to intensify the flavors, 8 hours to overnight.
Tips
Chef's Note:
If you don't have a gas stove, roast peppers under the broiler until the skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
