Rustic Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Jarred roasted red pepper adds a flavour twist
to this traditional pasta sauce.
Makes about 4 cups (1 L)
1
onion, cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) pieces
1
carrot, peeled and cut into ½-inch (1.25 cm) pieces
2
garlic cloves, peeled
2
teaspoons (10 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1
teaspoon (5 ml) dried basil
1
jarred roasted red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
1
⁄
3
cup (80 ml) dry white wine
2
tablespoons (30 ml) tomato paste
2
cans [15 ounces (450 ml), each] diced tomatoes with juices
½
teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
¼
teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
1. Insert the chopping blade sharp side up in the work bowl of the
chopper attachment. Add the onion, carrot and garlic into the work
bowl and pulse on High to roughly chop, about 5 pulses.
2. In a 2-quart (1.89 L) saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrot, garlic and basil. Cook until the vegetables are
softened but not browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the roasted red
pepper and wine, increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the
wine is completely reduced. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 to
2 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, salt and pepper.
3. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer the sauce
partly covered for 35 minutes. Remove the cover and simmer for an
additional 15 minutes until thickened.
4. Remove sauce from heat and insert the immersion blender into the
saucepan. Being sure to keep the metal blade completely submerged.
Blend on Low, using an up-and-down motion until ingredients are
well combined, about 60 seconds for a rustic-style texture. For a
smoother consistency, blend additional time until desired consistency
is achieved.
