Instrucciones
Roast the red bell peppers
-
Firstly, preheat your oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper or foil.
-
Cut your bell peppers into quarters. Remove the seeds and stems from any section. You can also leave them as a whole and take the seeds after baking.
-
Place the quartered pieces onto the lined baking sheet. The outside skin should face upwards.
-
Drizzle the olive oil, salt, and black pepper over the bell peppers.
-
Roast the bell peppers for roughly 15-20minutes or until their skins are charred.
Peel the roasted bell peppers
-
Leave the roasted peppers to cool for 10 minutes at room temperature. Weigh out and prepare the remaining ingredients at this time.
-
Once you can work with them, peel off the charred skin. It is very easy and it will slide off effortlessly.
Make the red pepper crema sauce

Place the prepared roasted (peeled) red peppers into a food processor. Add the sour cream and spices. Do not add salt, pepper, or vegetable stock.

Adjust the consistency of your red pepper crema sauce by adding some vegetable stock. You don't need to add any at all if you don't want to. See my tips section for this recipe.
