Makes 16oz dip:
The Goods:
1 roasted red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed
2 guajillo peppers
1 1/2 cup hot water
1 1/2 cups almonds
1 tbsp liquid aminos
1 tsp lemon zest
1 lemon juiced
1/2 cup parsley
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 tsp salt
The Method:
Preheat the oven to 400 and roast the one red bell pepper for 20-25 minutes until fork tender. You can also buy roasted bell peppers in a jar to skip this step.
Next, soak the guajillo peppers in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 min.
Grab a high powered blender and add the soaking guajillos and hot water and all the other ingredients into a blender and blend for 60 seconds or until everything is smooth.
Taste for salt. If you want it a thinner dip you can add 1/4 cup water.
Pour the guajillo almond dip into an airtight container and store in the fridge for 4-6 days.
Serve cold on your favorite wraps, sandwiches, or as a dip with your favorite veggie slices, chips, or crackers.
