Roasted Red Peppers

Sauce Base

Method

Roasting Peppers

1

Prepare the Peppers

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Rinse the red bell peppers under cold water and remove the stems and seeds.

2

Roast the Peppers

Place the peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is blistered and charred.

3

Cool and Peel

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes. After steaming, peel off the charred skin and chop the peppers.

Making the Sauce

4

Sauté Onions and Garlic

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

5

Combine Ingredients

Add the chopped roasted red peppers to the saucepan, along with the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

6

Simmer the Sauce

Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.

7

Blend the Sauce

Remove the saucepan from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.

8

Add Basil

Stir in the fresh basil leaves until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
