Smoky Red Pepper Drizzle
Bold, smoky, with a quiet heat from the chipotle — this sauce makes everything it touches taste more interesting. It's the one that goes on the table and disappears before anything else. Beautiful deep colour, incredible flavour.
Prep time
5 min
Total time
5 min
Serves
1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (about half a lemon)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 a pepper worth of roasted red peppers (from jar)
- 1 chipotle pepper in Adobo sauce*
- 2-4 Tablespoons of water, or more to thin
Preparation
- Step 1Add all ingredients into a small high speed blender and blend until well combined. Enjoy!
- Step 2Make it Your Own!
Omit the chipotle for a milder, red pepper-only version. This sauce also freezes well in small portions. - Step 3*Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are smoked, dried jalapeños that have been rehydrated and canned in a savory-sweet tomato sauce made with vinegar and spices. They come in small cans and a great pantry staple to boost flavour in everything!
Notes
How I use it:
Drizzled over any roasted vegetable, especially cauliflower and eggplant
As a spread on grain bowls or wraps
Spooned over baked eggs
On sandwiches instead of mayo
As a dipping sauce for sweet potato fries
