Chop the almonds in a food processor and then add peppers, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, 2 teaspoons of the served pepper juice and a pich of cayenne. Puree and add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer this mixture to a fresh bowl, cover, chill. You can make it up to 1 day ahead. Serve with pita slices, crusty crostini bread and crudites.
