Roasted Pepper Sauce

 Ingredients: -4 bell peppers, red or of different colors -4 large cloves of garlic -1 tablespoon of olive oil -2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar -salt

To prepare a delicious and aromatic roasted pepper sauce, start by roasting the peppers. Choose red or yellow peppers, which have a sweet, pleasant flavor. Roast them on a tray in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius, turning them occasionally until the skin becomes blackened and peels off easily. This process may take about 30-40 minutes. Once the peppers are roasted, sprinkle them with salt and place them in a plastic bag. Close the bag and let them cool for 15-20 minutes to facilitate peeling. When they are cool enough, peel off the skin, stem, and seeds. This step is essential for achieving a smooth and creamy texture of the sauce.

After peeling, cut the peppers into smaller pieces and place them in a food processor. Add a few cloves of garlic, extra virgin olive oil for extra flavor, balsamic or wine vinegar for acidity, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Blend everything until you obtain a smooth and fine paste, similar to mayonnaise. It is important to check the texture of the sauce; if you want a thinner sauce, you can add a little oil or water, mixing again.

Finally, adjust the taste with salt, being careful not to overdo it, as the peppers already have a sweet and pleasant taste. The resulting sauce is not only delicious but also versatile. You can serve it simply spread on a slice of fresh bread as a quick and healthy snack. Additionally, the roasted pepper sauce is a perfect accompaniment for sandwiches, adding extra flavor to every bite.

For a more elaborate meal, try pairing it with eggplant salad, which will benefit from the complementary flavors. The sauce also pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, meatballs, or fried sausages, providing a pleasant contrast between the savory meat and the sweetness of the roasted peppers. Don’t forget about the grill, where the sauce will transform every piece of meat into an unforgettable culinary experience. Experiment and enjoy this simple yet flavorful sauce, which will surely become the star of your meals!
