Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 4 red bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.
-
Roast Peppers: Place the whole red bell peppers on the prepared roasting pan. Roast the peppers, turning them occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until the skins start to blister and darken.
-
Cool and Prepare Peppers: Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and allow them to cool. Once cooled, cut each pepper in half, remove the stems, seeds, and white pith inside.
-
Prepare Onion and Garlic: While the peppers are cooling, heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the roasted red peppers and chicken broth to the sautéed garlic and onion mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps blend the flavors together.
-
Blend: Remove the sauce from the heat and carefully transfer it to a blender. Puree the mixture until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids to avoid splattering.
-
Season and Serve: Season the roasted red pepper sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm over your favorite pasta or use it as a flavorful sauce for other dishes.
