Sweet Red Pepper Coulis

This multipurpose sauce is great for chicken,

fish, crab cakes, and pastas.

Makes 2½ cups

1 tablespoon olive oil

1medium yellow onion, roughly chopped

6garlic cloves, smashed

3medium red peppers (about 6 ounces each), roughly chopped

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup dry white wine

¼ cup chicken stock

Heat the olive oil in a 2½-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, red peppers, salt, and pepper and stir to coat. Reduce heat to low, cover loosely and “sweat” slowly until softened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Take care that the vegetables do not pick up any color.

When vegetables are soft, add wine and increase the temperature so that the wine comes to a boil. Reduce the wine until about 1 tablespoon remains. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes. Insert the blender into the saucepan, making sure the protective guard is submerged. Blend on Low, using an up-and- down motion until ingredients are smooth and well combined, about 50 to 60 seconds.
