How to Make Portuguese Style Red Pepper Paste
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast 1 lb red bell peppers until skin is blackened and blistered (about 20-25 minutes). Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool completely. Once cool, peel and remove seeds.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the roasted red peppers, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the paste reaches a whipped cream-like consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Makes approximately 2 1/2 cups. If the paste separates slightly, gently drain off any excess liquid.
