Smokey Roasted Yellow Pepper Sauce: Makes about 1 1/2 cups  (350ml) of sauce

• 2 large yellow (or orange or red) peppers, roasted and peeled
• 1.5T fresh tarragon, chopped
• 1T fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 1T drained capers
• 2T (30ml) vegan sour cream or silken tofu
• 2T (30ml) vegan mayonnaise
• 1t of seasoned sushi vinegar
• 1t of honey or agave syrup
• 1/4t of chipotle powder
• salt

How to make it:  

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).  Wash and dry the peppers (2) and place them on a baking sheet.  Cook for 30 minutes, turning them over every 10 minutes so that they will evenly char on all sides.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.  Gently pull off the charred skin and discard.  Cut the peppers in half and remove the stems, core and seeds.  Cut into even pieces.

Place the roasted peppers and the remaining ingredients in deep measuring cup and purée with a plunging mixer.  You can also use a blender or food processor for this.
