Categories: Dressings/Sauces

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. red bell peppers
  • 3 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil

Directions

  1. Halve red bell pepper lengthwise and discard stems and seeds. Place the halves, cut-side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet along with the garlic cloves. Broil, flipping often, until the peppers are charred in many spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl and loosely cover with foil. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes. Peel the peppers and garlic. Combine the garlic, paprika, salt and cayenne pepper in a food processor; process to finely chop the garlic. Add the peppers and vinegar; process until pureed. With the motor running, drizzle in olive oil. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
