Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (87 g) slivered almonds
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, but strongly recommended)
- 1 cup (8 ounces / 225 g) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 12 ounces (340 g) roasted red peppers (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup (5 g) parsley, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (1 to 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Add the slivered almonds to a medium pan over medium-high heat. Toast for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. The almonds should be fragrant and most of them will have become golden brown when finished.
- Set the almonds aside, and return the pan to the heat. Add the nutritional yeast to the pan and toast for around 60 seconds, stirring continuously. The nutritional yeast will also become a darker brown, and more fragrant.
- Next, add all ingredients to a high speed blender (for smooth sauce) or food processor (for chunky) and process for 30-60 seconds, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, or store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 10 days. If desired, heat up in a pan for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Fire Roasted Tomatoes can be substituted for regular Diced Tomatoes (or even fresh), but this will affect the final flavor of the recipe.
