This sound like something I'd really like. I like the idea of adding
almonds, one of my favorite foods for their taste and nutritional
value.

When I make it I will be making one change, I like my almonds raw and
soaked in water for 2 days. When almonds are roasted, the nutriments
are altered, I prefer them natural.

I have been buying sweet red pepper paste (spread) from Turkey. I love
it in salads. I smear about 2 tbs in the bottom of my salad bowl, add
salad, olive oil, rice vinegar and toss. Delicious IMHO. The only
problem with buying the red pepper paste is the large containers it
comes in. My hubby don't like it much and I can't eat it all before I
consider it over the hill and I don't like throwing food away.

I'll be making a batch with your recipe today, will try it with pork
we are planning to cook carnitas style. We normally eat it with salsa
but the roasted red pepper dip sounds good.
