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
1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 carrot, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 stalk celery, cut into ½-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 ∕
3
cup dry white wine, or vermouth
3 roasted red peppers, cut into ½-inch pieces
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cans (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.
