Smokey Roasted Yellow Pepper Sauce

Inspiration: Sauce for The best crab cakes ever.

Easy and quick to make and makes any plate look beautiful!  Served here with Crispy Vegan "Meatballs".


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.

  • 1.5T fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1T fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped

  • 2T (30ml) vegan sour cream or silken tofu
  • 2T (30ml) vegan mayonnaise
  • 1t of seasoned sushi vinegar
  • 1t of honey

Capers



Taste the sauce and season with additional salt if needed.  Gently reheat the sauce in the microwave when you are ready to serve.

This sauce is very good and can accompany a variety of different dishes.  It would pair very well with fish also.  Enjoy!

Served with grilled vegetables, smoky grilled garlic bread and a glass of proseco.  Summer ♥ I recently came back from a quick trip to Montreal to help my daughter move out of her residence after her first year at University.   As her summer job, she has decided to go participate in a reforestation project in Northern Ontario,  A & M Reforestation , which will involve a lot of demanding and hard work.   She likes to challenge herself that way.  Go Kat!

Summertime Chocolate Fondue

It's summertime and the fruit is amazing.  Recently, when we were invited to a party and I asked if I could bring something, this idea came to mind.  Actually, it was inspired by my husband who suggested we buy a wonderful chocolate fondue that we found in Switzerland (that is actually from France) to bring back as gifts for friends and family in Montreal. The fondue preparation itself is presented in clay jars that stay very warm once heated and work extremely well to keep the chocolate melted and at the right temperature.  We bought two flavours:  Dark Chocolate 70% cocoa with red pepper aroma (actually quite spicy and really good) and Dark Chocolate 70% cocoa with sea salt.  Both were amazing and added a little twist to the traditional basic chocolate fondue.  The jar needs to be heated on medium power in the microwave for two minutes at a time until the chocolate is the right temperature and consistency.  Very easy.
