1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange tomatoes, baguette slices, chilies,
bell pepper halves, cut-side down and garlic on lightly oiled baking sheet.
Roast together, removing each when done: chilies, about 5 minutes; baguette
slices when lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes; garlic cloves when soft, 20
to 30 minutes; tomatoes and bell pepper until skins blister, 25 to 35
minutes. 2. Place roasted chilies in small saucepan and cover with water.
Heat to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered,
until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Chop chilies coursely; set aside. 3.
Squeeze flesh from cooled garlic into small bowl. Remove skins from
tomatoes and bell pepper. 4. Combine toasted nuts, baguette slices and
roasted garlic in food processor fitted with metal blade or blender
container; process or blend until ground. Add tomatoes, bell pepper,
chilies and vinegar; process or blend until smooth. Gradually drizzle in
oil with motor running. Season with salt. Transfer to bowl and stir in
parsley. (Sauce can be prepared ahead and stored, covered, in refrigerator
for up to 2 days.) Note: To toast nuts, spread hazelnuts and almonds in
small baking dish and toast in 375 degree oven until light golden and
fragrant, about 5 minutes. Cool. Nutrition information per tablespoon:
