½ cup homemade croutons 5 mg (reference recipe)
Instructions
Put the tomatoes, one half of the garlic head, and red bell pepper in a baking pan. Drizzle with a Tbsp. of olive oil, and roast in a 375-degree oven until caramelization develops (about an hour). Be careful not to burn.
Toast the almonds in a small sauté pan on medium heat, using about 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Keep the pan in a continuous motion so that the almonds do not burn. Cool, and then add the nuts to a food processor along with 1 Tbsp. of garlic.
Sear the ancho chili in the same sauté pan on high heat for about 15 seconds per side. Reconstitute the chili in a cup of hot water until soft. Drain, and then add it to the food processor with the almonds and garlic.
Pulse the ingredients roughly.
Once the tomatoes, red pepper and garlic are caramelized, allow them to cool. Remove the skins from the tomatoes and squeeze the garlic from the pulp. Add all to the food processor. Blend while adding the infused oil and remaining oil in a slow steam. Add the vinegar, blend, and taste. The result should be slightly tangy with a thick yet smooth consistency. Add wine and bread crumbs. Continue to blend. If needed, add additional red wine or small increments of water (for a milder taste).
