ABOUT Roasted Pepper Sauce - Vegan & Gluten free RECIPE

I can assure you that this is such a delicious sauce which can be the star of any dish. Basically, red bell peppers are roasted completely and then blend into a smooth texture along with some garlic, shallots and some seasonings. The roasting brings out the natural sweetness in the peppers, so no sugar is needed. But if the sauce tastes slightly bitter (bitterness depends upon the ripeness of red bell pepper, more ripe means less bitter), then some sugar can be added to the sauce for balancing the taste. This roasted pepper sauce is a versatile sauce and can be used as pasta sauce, dip, pizza sauce, sandwich spread etc. The preparation method is so simple yet results in super flavorful sauce. The sauce once made can be stored in an air tight container and kept in the refrigerator for almost a week. So do try this roasted pepper sauce.
