- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of red pepper coulis to a small saucepot and heat over low heat until warm.
- If you do not have any roasted peppers, you can use fresh seeded bell peppers. You will need to sauté them over low heat for 6 to 8 minutes at the same time you would be adding on the roasted peppers.
