Red Pepper Coulis
Red Pepper Coulis has onion, garlic, roasted red peppers, and a touch of balsamic vinegar for a lovely, versatile sauce. Drizzle this roasted red pepper sauce over soups, sandwiches, veggies, eggs, and more.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped white onion
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 16 oz roasted red bell pepper drained
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, tossing regularly, until softened and fragrant. Transfer to a food processor.
- Add the roasted peppers, salt, cream, and remaining olive oil to the onion-garlic mixture in the food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a saucepan.
- Add the balsamic vinegar to the coulis and simmer (*see Notes) 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Yields ~1-½ cups (12 ounces) sauce.
Notes
During the 10 minute simmer, this sauce is thick enough that rather than actually simmer, it will bubble. To avoid a mess, simply stir very often.
