Red pepper coulis (version 2)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Red bell peppers, quartered/seeded
4 ounces Shallots, minced
9 ounces White wine
3 ounces Dry vermouth
24 ounces Heavy cream
8 ounces Whole unsalted butter, cubed

Directions

Saute the peppers until they are tender; puree them.

Combine the shallots, wine, and vermouth; simmer until the shallots are translucent.

Add the red pepper puree to the shallot mixture; reduce mixture by half.

Add the cream and reduce to nappe'. [sauce will evenly coat the back of a spoon; thickened.]

Monte' au beurre. [whisk the butter into the sauce.] Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

NOTES : Rael Note: this can easily be spiced up with the addition of adobo sauce/chipotles, chile powder, other seasonings, etc. Soy milk will reduce if one prefers to avoid cream. Takes a bit more time and care, but it does work.
