Karen's Roasted Red Pepper Coulis
A rich and decadent tasing sauce that is light and delicious! Eat with my Spiced Grilled Red Fish or drizzle over eggs, chicken, veggies & fish.
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell peppers, heavy for their size; roasted, peeled and seeded
- 1 medium sweet onion , such as Vidalia
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes*
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth, or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, (no carmel coloring)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Peel and slice onions into 1/2 inch round slices, add to a plate, brush all over with 1 1/2 t. evoo. Set grill to medium-high heat. Add onion slices and unpeeled garlic to a grill basket, place on grill. Cook until onions are golden, turn over and cook second side until golden. Let onions color a bit, turn with tongs until golden - remove onions and garlic to a plate.
- Coarsely chop roasted red peppers. Peel garlic and add all ingredients -including grilled onions (except 2 T. olive oil) to the carafe if a blender.
- Blend from low speed to high until a nice smooth puree, but with some texture. Drizzle in remaining olive oil on low speed until blended in. Taste for seasonings.
Notes
*Chili Flakes - I love Szechuan Chile flakes, moderate fruity heat, add more if you like spicy.
Roasting Red Peppers: Place peppers over a gas flame, turning air they blacken completely all over. Add to a paper bag, seal and leave to cool. Remove blackened skin.
The Coulis tastes best when grilling onions & garlic outdoors - adds an important smoky flavor.
