Sweet Red Bell Pepper Sauce

Serves 6

This is a fresh and sweet pepper sauce perfect for lighter dishes like fish, shrimp and especially our Sauteed Crabcakes.

Ingredients
  • 5 tablespoons (2-1/2 ounces) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 medium (about 4 ounces) red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 medium (about 4 ounces) red onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Leaves from 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Juice 1/2 medium lemon
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground white pepper
Method
  1. In a 10-inch skillet melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Saute the pepper, onion, garlic and thyme until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Deglaze with the wine and cook until 3 tablespoons liquid remain. Pour in the cream and bring to a boil.
  2. Scrape the contents of the skillet into a blender and puree until smooth. Strain, return to a clean pan and reheat. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
