About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 4 medium red bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 2 Scotch bonnet pepper
- 10 garlic clove
- 1 large lemon
- 1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
- 0.51 cup neutral oil
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp honey
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 450°F (446°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Slice the red bell peppers in half, remove seeds, and place them skin‑side up on the sheet; peel and quarter the red onion and add it to the tray.
- 3Roast the peppers and onion for 20‑25 minutes, until the skins are blistered and the vegetables are softened.
- 4Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap for 5 minutes to steam, then peel off the skins and discard.
- 5Combine the peeled roasted peppers, roasted onion, Scotch bonnet peppers, garlic cloves, lemon juice, white vinegar, neutral oil, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, chicken bouillon powder, black pepper, and honey in a high‑speed blender.
- 6Blend on high until the mixture is smooth but retains a slight texture from the peppers, about 30 seconds.
- 7If using the sauce as a dip or glaze, pour it into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium‑low heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
- 8Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring to a sterilized jar.
- 9For a marinating application, the sauce can be used immediately; otherwise, store the cooled sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- 10Before serving, give the sauce a quick stir; if it has thickened, warm gently over low heat to loosen.
