If You're Not Going to Do It Perfectly, Don't Try!!

Seriously don't.  The slightest mistake makes this normally delicious sauce, gag worthy.  But, if you're in one of your "bring it on" moods, try this recipe on for size.  Tedious, and labor intensive(for me anyway), it is totally worth the effort (if done right) and it goes with everything!!  Here is the recipe for Sweet Pepper Sauce:



Ingredients
  • 4 medium yellow sweet peppers
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh oregano leaves
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Halve sweet peppers lengthwise. Remove stems, seeds, and veins. Place pepper halves, cut sides down, on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly charred.

2. Bring foil up around peppers to enclose. Let stand about 15 minutes or until cool. Loosen edges of the skins with a small sharp knife; gently pull off skins in strips and discard. Place peppers in food processor or blender. Cover; process or blend until smooth.

3. In large skillet cook onion and garlic in hot olive oil over medium heat 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in pureed peppers, white wine vinegar, sugar, thyme, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes or until desired consistency. Makes 2 cups sauce.

Try it a chicken and pasta dish or as a spread on your favorite sandwich.  It adds a delicious kick to just about anything.  Your Welcome.
