Instructions

  1. 1 Turn gas stove on; place bell pepper on burner. Char over flame, turning with tongs, until soft and blackened, about 5 minutes per side. Pepper should emit steam when pressed. Transfer pepper to a bowl, cover, and let cool to room temperature. Repeat with remaining peppers.
  2. 2 Heat oil and garlic in a skillet over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until garlic just starts to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer garlic to a dish using a slotted spoon, leaving oil in the skillet.
  3. 3 Add bread cubes to the skillet; toast until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. 4 Peel peppers under running water; remove and discard skins and seeds. Chop peppers; transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add garlic, bread cubes with oil, almonds, vinegar, paprika, cayenne, and salt; pulse until sauce is well combined and reaches desired consistency.
  5. 5 Transfer sauce to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to intensify the flavors, 8 hours to overnight.

  3. 3 Scrape the vegetables and any juices from the pan into a food processor or blender. Break the bread into pieces, and add to the food processor along with the toasted almonds, vinegar, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
