    This is no ordinary Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Sauce. The roasting of garlic, tomatoes AND red peppers kicks it up to flavortown.

    The making of Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Sauce

    This is no ordinary sauce. The roasted garlic, roasted tomato, roasted red peppers, and balsamic vinegar give it a depth of flavor that is oh so good.

    For this recipe, I used jarred red peppers. I find that overall jarred roasted peppers are fine, I buy Mezzetta or Trader Joe's brand. With Trader Joe's I find I usually get two whole papers in the jar, like whole and intact. I like that because I know it is all the same pepper. But if you have time, feel free to roast your own. There are a number of different ways to roast peppers, on the stovetop; over an open flame, on a gas or charcoal grill, or under a broiler. 

    I served this with my recipe for Turkey Meatloaf but it is equally good as a spread on hamburgers or chicken sandwiches.

    Hi, I'm Lindy.

    I am a home-trained chef who loves to cook and eat delicious food. As I like to say, "Life is too short to eat mediocre food". And I find too much food out there is mediocre. I don't think good food needs to be fussy, or difficult to prepare. Most of my recipes are fresh, quick, easy, and tasty while keeping both calories and fats in check.
