This Catalan sauce of roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and toasted almonds is endlessly useful — spoon it over grilled vegetables, fish, or just dip bread in it.

Gather everything

Ingredients

  • 2 roasted red bell peppers (jarred or homemade)
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, roasted
  • 1/2 cup almonds, toasted
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 slice stale bread, torn
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
Cook step by step

Instructions

  1. Blend the base
    Combine roasted peppers, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, and bread in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Add liquids

  3. Season
    Stir in smoked paprika and salt to taste.

Keeps in the fridge for up to a week — great on eggs, too.
