Instructions
- Roast the Peppers. Preheat oven to broil. Set the peppers onto a baking sheet (aluminum foil will make for easy cleanup), skin sides up, and broil for 5-10 minutes, until the skins are blackened and blistered, turning every few minutes to evenly roast the peppers. Check after 5 minutes and remove the smaller peppers as needed. They will char faster.
- Transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover them with plastic or a paper towel, or place them into baggies or paper bags to let the skins steam and loosen. Peel away the skins and discard them.
- Set the roasted peppers into a food processor.
- Heat a small pan to medium heat. Add the coriander seeds, caraway seeds and cumin seeds and dry toast them for 1-2 minutes, shaking the pan a bit, until the seeds become fragrant.
- Transfer the seeds to a mortar along with the paprika, chili flakes, mint and salt. Grind them down with a pestle. Skip this step if using ground instead of seeds.
- Pour the spice mixture into the food processor with the roasted peppers. Add the fresh garlic, oil and lemon juice. Process until smooth. Adjust for salt to taste.
- Adjust for a thinner sauce with a bit more oil or water. Use immediately, or top with a bit of oil and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
