Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup piquillo peppers (roasted)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste and smoked paprika, and cook for another minute to release their flavors.
Add the piquillo peppers, apple cider vinegar, honey, kosher salt, black pepper, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. If needed, adjust the consistency by adding a teaspoon of water at a time.
Taste the ketchup and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or honey to suit your preference.
Pour the ketchup into a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
