Romesco Sauce

1 c tomatoes, fire-roasted diced
1/4 c almonds, slivered toasted
2 tbsp EVO oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
3/4tsp salt
3 cloves garlic , chopped
2 jars roasted red bell peppers, (7 1/2-oz)drained
1 bread, (1-ounce) slice

Place all of the ingredients in a food processor, and process until smooth. Romesco is, generally speaking, a Spanish sauce that includes nuts, bread, peppers, tomatoes, and other ingredients in a thick puree. There are a ton of different recipes, some including ancho chilies, vinegar, and garlic, some with hazelnuts, or onions. The sauce generally has the richness of an aioli (a rich sauce of crushed garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice, and olive oil), but without the eggs.
