Tomato Red Pepper Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the pepper, tomatoes, vinegar, honey and cilantro in a food processor and process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add oil and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut off and discard top quarter of garlic head and wrap remainder in foil. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in a foil-lined 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan and sprinkle lightly with salt. Add whole bell pepper and garlic (in foil) to pan and roast vegetables in middle of oven 1 hour.
• Transfer bell pepper to a bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap, then let stand about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel pepper, discarding stem and seeds, and transfer to a food processor or blender along with tomatoes.
• Unwrap garlic and squeeze roasted cloves from skin into food processor. Add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste, then purée sauce until smooth.

Steps:

• Cook the onions in a little oil until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute, then add the peppers and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes, red wine, herbs and season well. Mix thoroughly and simmer down for 20 mins or so.
• Squeeze the baby plum tomatoes between your fingers and rip the flesh into 3 or 4 pieces, adding the flesh and the juice to the sauce. Cook down a little more. If you want the sauce for fish or chicken, you need to cook it down to a thick consistency. If it is for pasta on its own you want it a bit runnier. If it is for pasta and meatballs you want it runnier still as it needs to coat the pasta as well as the meatballs. Use your judgement. Whichever way you are serving this sauce it is great with freshly grated parmesan over the top!

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:

• Place peppers directly over a gas-stove burner on high heat. As each section turns puffy and black, turn with tongs to prevent overcooking. (Or place peppers on a baking pan; broil in oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer to a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let sweat until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Transfer to work surface. Peel off blackened skin; discard. Halve; discard seeds. Roughly chop flesh; set aside.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and pepper flakes. Cook until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, stock, oregano, and peppers. Bring to a gentle simmer; cook until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve. The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days, or frozen up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and cook the onion with the garlic until soft. Add the peppers and cook them over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring them occasionally.
• Meanwhile, bring six quarts salted water to a rolling boil and add the spaghetti.
• While the spaghetti is cooking add the tomatoes, salt and pepper to the sweet peppers. Cook for one to two minutes, just enough to heat the tomatoes through. Stir in the basil leaves and correct seasoning.
• Drain the pasta, put it in a heated bowl and toss it with the sauce. Serve grated Parmesan cheese separately.
