Roasted Red Hatch Chile Sauce - Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by roasting and removing skins and seeds from red bell peppers, which are then combined in a food processor with chopped red onion, garlic, chili flakes, ground cumin, and salt. Processing and gradually adding olive oil emulsifies the sauce, giving it a thicker texture and bringing out the rich pepper flavor.
Simmering the mixture with chicken broth mellows the spices and deepens the taste. The resulting sauce is thick yet pourable and can be used as a condiment or cooking ingredient.
Depending on texture preference, the sauce can be strained for smoothness or served with all components blended together for a rustic, hearty consistency.
The recipe produces about three cups unstrained and around two cups after straining.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red bell pepper skins and innards removed, roasted
- 1/2 cup onion red, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes spicy
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Remove the charred skins from your roasted red peppers. Toss the peppers into a food processor, along with some onion, garlic, and seasonings. I used a bit of spicy chili flakes, cumin and salt.
- Process the mixture until it smooths out, then drizzle in some olive oil and process it. The olive oil will emulsify and thicken up the sauce to an almost fluffy texture.
- Transfer the sauce to a pot and add in a bit of chicken broth to thin it out. Simmer it for about 10 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
- Adjust for salt.
- Strain, if desired, or serve it as is.
Notes
- The recipe yields approximately 3 cups of sauce before straining and 2 cups after straining.
- The sauce can be strained for a smoother texture or served unstrained for a more rustic feel.
