Ingredients
- Red bell peppers
- 2, halved and seeds removed
- Jalapeno peppers
- 2, halved and seeds removed
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 small, chopped
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
- Sugar
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the red bell peppers and jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Place the peppers on a baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered. This process enhances the flavors by imparting a smoky aroma.
- Once roasted, remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. After cooling, peel off the charred skins and discard them.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peppers, minced garlic, chopped onion, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, ensuring a creamy and even consistency.
- In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the blended pepper mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors together.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or bottle. This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve the smoky pepper sauce as a condiment with grilled meats, as a spread on sandwiches, or as a spicy dip for fresh vegetables and chips.
Tips
- For an extra kick, leave some seeds in the jalapenos or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Experiment with different types of peppers, such as poblano or serrano, for varied flavors.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish tacos, or as a zesty dressing for salads.
