Red Pepper Sauce Recipe

Makes 3-4 Servings

Ingredients

• 2 large red bell peppers (capsicums)
• 1/2 brown onion, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup filtered water
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1tsp coconut oil
• Himalayan salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Start by soaking the cashews in filtered water.  If you have a powerful blender like a Vitamix, you can skip this step.  If not, if you can soak for 2-3 hours this is best, but 30 mins will do, if you’re reading this as you’re cooking!
2. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees (230 celsius) and line a sheet pan with parchment/baking paper. Place the whole peppers/capsicum on the pan and roast for 25 minutes until they are browned.
3. While they are browning, gently fry the onion and garlic with the coconut oil, just for 3-4 minutes.
4. Once the pepper is done, open them up and remove the stem and seeds, and put into the blender.
5. Add all of the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Taste and add any additional salt or more chilli if you like.
6. Serve!  If storing, get it into an airtight container (lid off) and allow to cool, then pop the lid on and put into the fridge or freezer.
