Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 large tomatoes (1 lb.), seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup  vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons  julienned fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon  balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon  red pepper sauce

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450 degree F. Place onion and 1 head garlic in 8-inch square nonstick baking pan and roast 25 to 35 minutes or until garlic is tender. Remove garlic; roast onion 30 minutes more. Cool. Meanwhile, roast red bell peppers directly on gas or electric burner over medium-high heat, turning until charred all over. Transfer to bowl, cover and steam just until cool enough to handle. Peel, seed, and chop bell peppers. When onion is cool enough to handle, peel and chop. Squeeze 2 garlic cloves from head and chop (reserve remaining garlic for another use). Combine roasted onion, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, vegetable broth, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper sauce in food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Makes 2-1/2 cups.
