Ingredients

  • 2 pounds roasted red peppers skins and innards removed
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon spicy chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  • Remove the charred skins from your roasted red peppers. Toss the peppers into a food processor, along with some onion, garlic, and seasonings. I used a bit of spicy chili flakes, cumin and salt.
  • Process the mixture until it smooths out, then drizzle in some olive oil and process it. The olive oil will emulsify and thicken up the sauce to an almost fluffy texture.
  • Transfer the sauce to a pot and add in a bit of chicken broth to thin it out. Simmer it for about 10 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
  • Adjust for salt.
  • Strain, if desired, or serve it as is.
