Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Sauce
This is a very versatile sauce. It is equally great over
grilled chicken or a bowl of pasta.
Makes about 4 cups
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1medium onion, cut into
1carrot, cut into
1stalk celery, cut into
2garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried basil
1∕3 cup dry white wine, or vermouth
3roasted red peppers, cut into
2tablespoons tomato paste
2cans (15 ounce) diced tomatoes, with juices
¾ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1∕8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1.Put the olive oil in a medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and basil. Partially cover and let cook until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the wine/vermouth, stirring to deglaze the pan (picking up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and working into the mixture); let cook until fully evaporated. Add roasted peppers, tomato paste, tomatoes with juices, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to allow to simmer, partially covered, for about 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and then simmer for an additional 15 to 20 minutes longer to thicken.
2.Using the blending shaft, blend sauce until puréed. If using a larger saucepan, tilt the pan to the side away from you to ensure that the protective guard of the blending shaft is fully submerged to prevent splatter.
3.Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
