Ingredients
- 2 lbs red bell peppers See notes
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Cut the peppers into chunks and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Place peppers in a pot, fill halfway with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 1 hour until soft.
- Drain the water, return peppers to the pot, and blend until smooth with an immersion blender.
- Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt, and simmer on medium heat for2 to 3 hours, stirring constantly until the mixture is very thick.
- Transfer to a clean jar, top with olive oil, seal, and refrigerate.
Notes
- Traditionally this recipe is made with Kapya pepper which is a sweet long red pepper. However, if Kapya pepper isn't available, red bell peppers will do just fine.
