Sweet Red Pepper Gyro Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cut leeks in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place in small bowl, and cover with cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to rid leeks of dirt and sand. Lift out of the water, and drain.
• Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks, peppers, salt, and pepper; saute for 3 minutes. Add stock; cover. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes.
• Transfer vegetables to food processor; puree. Pass puree through fine strainer back to saucepan. To serve, warm over low heat.

Steps:

• Fold together all ingredients in a bowl.
• Chill til ready to serve.
• I often make a faux Gyro with Pitas, tomatoes and sweet red onion.
• I buy thin sliced pastrami or spicy or peppered roast beef from the deli and microwave it for 20 or 30 seconds.
• Put it all together and-- yum.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Toss the peppers and onions with the garlic and olive oil, and spread out in a roasting tin. Roast for 40 mins, then add the tomatoes, red wine vinegar and sugar, and roast for another 20 mins. Tip into a food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste.

Steps:

• Using a long fork, hold the red pepper directly over a gas flame or close to the heating element of a preheated electric broiler. Cook, turning it often so that it blisters and blackens all over - top, bottom and sides.
• Let stand until cool enough to hold, and rinse thoroughly under cold tap water, peeling off the burned outer skin. Cut the pepper flesh into 1-inch pieces. There should be about 3/4 cup.
• Cut the onion into 1/4-inch cubes. There should be about 3/4 cup.
• Cut the tomato into 1/2-inch cubes. There should be about 3/4 cup.
• Put the tomato, sweet pepper, onion, hot pepper, mustard, vinegar, oil, garlic and chervil in the container of a food processor. Blend thoroughly.
