Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Creamy, packed with flavor, and smoky-sweet and this roasted red pepper sauce is so easy to make.
Ingredients
- 3.5 ounces onion
- 1/2 clove garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 6 ounces roasted red peppers jarred
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 0.4 ounces fresh basil
- 1/4 cup cream
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients; clean and cut your onion as well as the garlic. No need to cut it very small as everything will go through you blender or food processor.
- Heat butter in a skillet, add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until soft and golden. Allow to cool just a little bit.
- Place all ingredients (roasted red bell peppers, onion, garlic, basil, broth, cream) in a food processor or blender and process until you have a smooth sauce. (NOTE 1)
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
This recipe yields 1.5 cups of sauce and the nutritional value is calculated for the 1.5 cups.
- You can process the sauce to a lesser extent and still have bigger pieces left for a chunkier sauce; entirely your choice.
- For a vegan roasted red pepper sauce: use olive oil in stead of butter and use plant cream in stead of regular cream.
