Ingredients

  • 16 ounce jar of roasted red peppers
  • 1/2 cup raw, unsalted cashews
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic or sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch of red pepper flakes (more if you'd like it spicier)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

I love the vibrant color of this Spanish sauce that is great on so many things! Jarred roasted red peppers make this a fast sauce to make. It’s traditionally made with almonds, but you can use walnuts or cashews (like I did). I love the creaminess of cashews and I always have them on hand. Make in a high speed blender for a creamy texture; or make in a food processor for a more coarse texture. You can add a little more spice too if you wish. Great with crackers, bread, veggies or on a sandwich!

Directions

Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth (for creamier texture). If you prefer a more coarse texture, add all the ingredients to a food processor. Serve room temperature with bread, crackers and veggies.
