Roasted Red Pepper Sauce



I cooked a roasted bell pepper sauce to go on some ravioli. It's from Emeril's recipe but he did not roast the pepper, I thought it would make it taste better. It came out really good. I was suprised how easy it was and how just a few things could make such a good sauce.

I took 1/2 of a pepper and roasted it over the fire on the stove. I used 1/2 cause I did not want to make too much sauce.

You have to keep turning it to make sure its good and black all over.

 Cover with plastic wrap and let steam for about 5 mins to loosen the black skin.


When th skin is loose, peel it off, I find a paper towel helps. They say don't rince it under water cause it takes the taste out of it. I don't know but I don't rince it. LOL


I chopped it up and added it to the pan with 1 cup of 1/2 and 1/2. The recipe said heavy cream but I was out. Let it cook over low fire till it reduces by about 1/2. Just keep stiring so it does not burn.
I put it in a bowl and used a hand blender and it came out really good. I added it back to the pot and added some white & red pepper and salt.

 So simple but so good !!
