t’s all about the red peppers! For healthy hair, firm skin this beta-carotene sauce is an anti-aging wonder!
The phytochemical lycopene found in the peppers are ‘chemoprotective’ and help suppresses the cell signal that starts a chain of ageing and inflammation in the body.
They’re extremely high in collagen-building vitamin C just one red pepper has about 600 percent of your daily requirement of vitamin C. A great sauce to ward off winter colds.
Ingredients
100g balanced almonds
200g roasted red pepper from a jar, drained
50g oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
50ml olive oil
Method
Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan for 3-4 mins until starting to turn golden and smelling toasted. Shake the pan often to turn them. Tip out and leave to cool.
Drain the red peppers, sun dried tomatoes and tip into a food processor with the almonds, garlic, vinegar and smoked paprika, then blitz to a chunky paste.
With the motor still on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to make a dip. A bit of texture works well for this rather than blending to a super smooth consistency. Season well, adding a little more vinegar, if you like.
