Oven-roasted capsicum sauce - Real Recipes from Mums

This tasty capsicum sauce is an alternative to tomato sauce. It is sweet and without the sharp taste that tomato sometimes has, it also has that special roasted flavour.

Ingredients (makes 2 Cups)

4 Medium size capsicums
3/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Method

Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees. Place capsicums on baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for 20 minutes till capsicums have completely collapsed and soft to touch.
Let them cool for 5-10 minutes until you are able to handle. Peel skin, remove the membrane and de-seed.
Add capsicums and sea salt to the blender. While the motor is operating, add oil in steady stream slowly till it becomes a smooth sauce. Taste and add more sea salt if you wish. Pour sauce into a sterilised jar.

Notes

This is really quick and easy, a simple and tasty sauce that can be used for pasta, and as a savoury sauce base in any other veggie bakes or cooking.

This tastes great is such a more healthy alternative to tomato sauce, or ketchup. It’s only when you make tomato sauce yourself do you fully realise how much sugar, salt and vinegar there is in it – thanks for this alternative.
