Instructions
- In a food processor (or blender), add all the sauce ingredients: 1 c chopped roasted red bell peppers, 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ shallot, 2 cloves garlic, 4 fresh basil leaves, ½ tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, ⅛ tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp kosher salt, and ⅛ tsp black pepper. If you want a spicy sauce add red chili flakes.
- Process until all the ingredients turn into a smooth sauce. This is a forgiving sauce, and you can’t really overblend it.
- Taste test the sauce and adjust based on your preferences. If the sauce is too tangy, try to add ⅛ tsp of white sugar to balance.
- Serve as is, or heat it in a saucepan over medium-low for 1-2 minutes until warm.
