Red Pepper Cocktail Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the peppers, cover and simmer over very low heat, for about 20 minutes or until tender. Puree the cooked peppers through a food mill to remove the skins. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The sauce is ready to be used like this over steak, grilled polenta, poultry, lamb or grilled seafood or can be enhanced with a few tablespoonfuls of the possible additions.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the red peppers, broth, vinegar, and oil and process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, partially cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Let come to room temperature and store in a plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Whisk together the ketchup, lime juice, horseradish and chipotle puree in a small bowl, and season with salt and black pepper. Let sit at least 30 minutes before serving

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl until well blended. Taste and add more lemon juice or hot sauce as needed. Cocktail sauce will keep in the refrigerator in a covered container for at least 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F& lightly coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Place whole peppers on the pan& roast, turning once, for about 20 minutes or until the peppers start to blister& burn.
• Remove from oven& allow to cool; cut each pepper in half, remove the stem, seeds& pith.
• Heat oil in saute pan; saute garlic& onion until the onion is translucent, about 3- 5 minutes.
• Add the roasted peppers& broth; bring to a boil, lower heat& simmer for 10- 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat& carefully puree in a blender.
• Season to taste& pour over your favourite pasta.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 45 mins until the skins are blackened. Remove from the oven and put into a plastic bag - this makes them sweat and the skins slip off more easily. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins with your fingers. Slice the peppers open, pick out and discard all the seeds and membrane, then roughly chop the red flesh.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. When hot, fry the garlic and shallot for a few mins. Add the chopped peppers and continue to fry for a few mins, stirring to combine everything. Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil, then allow it to reduce a little.
• Pour the contents of the pan into a blender and whizz until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Depending on the ripeness of the peppers, you shouldn't need any sugar - but if they retain a slightly bitter flavour, return the sauce to the pan, add sugar to taste and let it dissolve over the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature.
