Notes
- Use roasted red peppers that are packed in water (not oil) to keep the fat content low. Or roast your own peppers if preferred.
- If roasting your own peppers, remove most of the charred/black skins, but don't worry about removing every little piece as those bits will add a stronger depth of flavour.
- Keep leftovers in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 5 days. Or freeze airtight for up to 3 months.
