Roasted Red Pepper Coulis image

We recently enjoyed some amazing soft shell crabs in a Caribbean restaurant that were served with a roasted red pepper coulis and a side of soy dipping sauce. These additions really put the dish over the top. So I wanted to post a red pepper coulis I found in a wonderful cookbook, Mainstreet Ventures: Distinctive Recipes from Distinctive Eateries", which is a compilation of several popular Ann Arbor, MI restaurants. Note that cooking time includes the time required to roast and cool the peppers before preparing the sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the roasted and cooled peppers into small pieces and puree with remaining ingredients in a blender. Makes about 1 cup.
  • Note: to oven roast peppers, place under a broiler in a pan on the rack positioned about 6 inches from the pre-heated source of heat and turn frequently to blacken all sides. Transfer the roasted peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10-15 minutes. Using a small knife, cut away the stems, open the peppers up and remove the seeds and membranes. Wipe the work surface clean with a damp towel whenever necessary. Scrape away the charred skin.
