MEXICAN RED ALMOND DIPPING SAUCE (VEGAN)
From a Mexican cookbook. A nice sweet and spicy dipping sauce, an interesting alternative to salsa and tomatillo sauce. Perfect for nacho chips and fritters! I liked this sauce with cheese arepas.

Steps:
- Put the almonds in a food processor and pulverize until finely ground.
- Cook onion and garlic in oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until onion is tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- Stir in all the other ingredients except the ground almonds. (I found it easier to turn the heat off first, then add the tomato sauce followed by everything else, then put the heat back on.).
- Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 1 minute stirring constantly;.
- stir in almonds.
- Serve hot with some corn chips and/or arepas, and enjoy!. Makes about 1 3/4 cups of sauce.
MEXICAN RED ALMOND DIPPING SAUCE II- RAW VEGAN VERSION
This is almost exactly the same as Recipe #396075 except this is a raw foods version-- but I do cheat and microwave it gently ;) It has less oil due to not cooking the onion and garlic, and essentially just purees everything to oblivion. You can use storebought almond meal in place of the whole almonds.
