Famous Roasted Red Capsicum Puree

As requested by so many!  The most fabulous sauce EVER!



I used this with the Moroccan Mince recipe but you can use it with pasta, chicken, steak or as a gravy replacement!  Add a little sugar if you need to!


Roasted Red Capsicum Purèe



Olive oil to fry



1 onion finely chopped



2 cloves garlic



1 cup roasted red capsicums (cut in half, place under grill until skin goes black, cool and then remove skin)



500ml tomato passata



Salt and pepper to season



Half a teaspoon turmeric freshly grated or use powder



1 pinch cumin or Ras el Hanout OR Chilli



Method



Fry the onions and the garlic in the oil until just soft. Now add the cooked capsicum and the tomato passata/puree and the seasoning and cook through. Simply place these gorgeous ingredients in a food processor or use a stick blender and blend until smooth. A fantastic accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes and salads, and heaps of fun to garnish with!
