Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the red bell pepper in half and remove the seeds and stem.
Place the bell pepper halves, skin side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the bell pepper in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until the skin is blistered and slightly charred.
In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cut a small 'X' at the bottom of each tomato.
Blanch the tomatoes in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice water bath.
Peel the skins from the tomatoes, then quarter and remove the seeds.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Once the roasted bell pepper has cooled, peel off the charred skin and roughly chop the flesh.
In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled tomatoes, roasted bell pepper, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If a smoother texture is desired, strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the sauce.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or jar. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
