Ingredients

8 servings

½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, (drained and oil reserved separately)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon very finely minced orange zest
extra virgin olive oil, (if needed)
¾ cup coarsely chopped roasted red peppers
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake for about 4 minutes or until golden and lightly toasted. Let cool.
In a food processor, combine the drained tomatoes, pepper flakes, garlic, orange zest, and cooled almonds. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile measure the oil drained from the tomatoes, and add olive oil as needed to make ¼ cup total. Add the oil to the processor along with the roasted peppers, vinegar, orange juice, and salt, and continue processing until smooth.
The spread can be made up to 4 days in advance, covered, and refrigerated until needed. Let come to room temperature before serving.
