Instructions
- Chop onions, garlic, chili and bell pepper very finely.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onions, cook for about 6 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic, chili, and spices, cook for a minute.
- Add the bell pepper, cook for about 5 minutes, until tender.
- Add the tomato paste, cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, season with salt to taste.
- Pulse the content of the pan in a food processor until it becomes a thick paste.
- Store in the fridge, in a closed container. If the paste will be stored for more than a few days, it must be topped with a thin layer of olive oil, it can also be frozen.
Notes
- You can use fresh bell pepper or roasted, both versions will be good, but I prefer it with roasted pepper. I wouldn't warm up the oven only for this one pepper, though. Use it only if you're roasting bell peppers also for other purposes.
- How to roast bell peppers: Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 450 °F / Gas Mark 8, no fan and roast until tender and browned, set aside to cool, peel and remove the seeds, chop finely and cook as in the recipe.
