1/4 cup almonds (see Note)
2 cloves fresh garlic
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano, or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
1 large jar (12 ounces) roasted red bell peppers, or 2 large home-roasted red bell peppers
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt (see Note)
Pinch of cayenne pepper
