How to Make Quick Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast red bell peppers until the skin is blackened and blistered (about 30-40 minutes).
  2. Once cool enough to handle, peel, core, and seed the peppers.
  3. Roughly chop the roasted peppers.
  4. In a blender, combine the chopped peppers, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  5. Blend until completely smooth.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a touch more vinegar for tartness, or a pinch of sugar for sweetness, if desired.
