Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs. large or jumbo fresh California asparagus, trimmed
Olive oil, as needed
Salt, as needed
3/4 C. drained rough-chopped roasted red bell pepper (from a jar)
2 Tbs. rough-chopped sun-dried tomato (packed in oil, drained)
2 1-inch slices baguette (about 1 ounce), lightly toasted, torn into pieces
2 Tbs. blanched, slivered almonds, toasted
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
1/2 Tbs. chopped parsley, preferably Italian flat leaf
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper or to taste
Cool water, as needed

Directions

Brush asparagus with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and grill over medium-hot heat, turning frequently until browned, hot and tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes depending on size. Cool. In a food processor, puree roasted red bell pepper and next 8 ingredients. With machine running, drizzle in 1 1/2 Tbs. of olive oil. If necessary, thin with 1 Tbs. of water at a time until a thick, sauce-like consistency is achieved.
