INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat broiler.  Line heavy large baking sheet with foil.  Arrange
peppers cut side down in center of baking sheet; surround with  garlic.
Broil 6 inches from heat until peppers are blackened and  garlic is
tender, turning garlic often, about 12 minutes.  Gather  foil up around
peppers and garlic; let stand until cool enough to  handle, about 10
minutes. Working over bowl to catch any juices, peel  and seed peppers;
reserve juices. Keeping red and yellow peppers  separate, cut into
pieces; transfer to 2 separate bowls. Peel and  chop garlic, discarding
any hard pieces.  Finely chop 6 almonds in processor.  Add yellow
peppers, half of  garlic, 1 teaspoon reserved pepper juice, 1/2
tablespoon oil, 1/2  teaspoon vinegar and pinch of cayenne and puree.
Season with salt  and pepper. Transfer to small bowl.  Using clean
processor, repeat with remaining 6 almonds, red peppers,  remaining
garlic, 1 teaspoon pepper juice, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil,  1/2
teaspoon vinegar and pinch of cayenne.  Season with salt and  pepper.
(Can be made 6 hours ahead.  Cover and chill purees  separately.  Bring
to room temperature before serving.)  Simultaneously spoon each puree
into shallow bowl.  Shake bowl gently,  allowing purees to meet in
center.  Serve with crudites and pita  wedges.  Makes about 1-1/4 cup.
