Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large red bell peppers ((washed and dried))
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice ((I have used fresh and bottled and both work fine))
  • 2 cloves garlic ((chopped))
  • 1.5 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
  • Fresh ground black pepper ((to taste))

Instructions

  1. Place the peppers on the grill over high heat. Alternately you may broil the peppers on high. Grill for about 5-10 minutes per side. Rotate the peppers as needed so that the peppers are evenly blackened.
  2. When the peppers are evenly blackened and the skin begins to crack, remove from the grill and place in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let the peppers rest for at least 20 minutes.
  3. After 20 minutes, remove the peppers from the bowl and scrape the skin off with a knife. Remove the stem and slit the pepper so that it lays flat. Scrape the seeds out of the pepper with the knife.
  4. Place the peppers into the blender with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  5. You may store the sauce in the fridge for several days. You can also freeze the sauce by placing ½ cup in small (snack size) baggies. The frozen sauce will keep for several months.
