Ingredients
Produce
- 1 large Bell Peppers green
- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 1 tsp Chili chopped, green
- 2 tbsp Coriander chopped
Pantry
- 1 tsp Garlic chopped
- 1 tbsp Peas green
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- Roast the bell pepper directly over a low flame on your stovetop, turning occasionally, until the skin is blackened and blistered all over. This enhances the smoky flavor of the pepper.
- Place the roasted bell pepper in a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it steam for about 10 minutes. This makes it easier to peel off the skin.
- Peel off the blackened skin of the bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds, and roughly chop it.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the chopped garlic and green chili to the pan and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the green peas, salt, and chopped cilantro to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the peas are slightly softened.
- Add the chopped roasted bell pepper to the pan and sauté for another minute to combine all the flavors.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve the Roasted Bell Pepper Sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's delicious as a dip, spread, or a topping for various dishes.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a smoother and creamier sauce texture, blend the cooked mixture while it’s still warm, then strain through a fine sieve to remove any fibrous bits from the capsicum or peas.
- If you prefer a milder sauce, roast the capsicum and green chillies over an open flame or in the oven before blending—this will impart a subtle sweetness and smoky flavor while reducing the heat.
- For a vibrant twist, stir in a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander or mint just before serving, enhancing both color and freshness—this works especially well when serving as a dip for breakfast or snack platters.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level of the sauce. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
- This sauce pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and even as a pizza topping.
- For a richer flavor, use roasted red peppers instead of capsicum.
Storage Instructions
- Pour the cooled sauce into sterilized glass jars.
- Cover with a thin layer of olive oil on top.
- Refrigerate; it will keep fresh for up to a week and can be used as a spread for sandwiches or as a dip for parathas.
