Step 1
Drain the roasted red peppers in a colander set over a sink, pressing gently with your palm to release excess liquid, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Place the drained peppers, almonds, vinegar, and garlic cloves into a food processor or blender.
Step 3
Pulse 8–10 times until the mixture is broken into small pieces but still has a slight texture, about 20 seconds total.
Step 4
With the processor running, pour the olive oil in a slow, thin stream through the feed tube until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth, 30–45 seconds.
Step 5
Transfer to a serving bowl and taste, then add salt and pepper as needed until the flavor is balanced and satisfying.
