Roasted red pepper sauce has to be one of the most versatile sauces. It's amazing with steak, chicken, fish, and shrimp. And also makes a delicious pasta sauce, pizza sauce, or sandwich spread!
The flavour is fantastic with hints of honey, thyme, and balsamic vinegar - all of which compliment red pepper perfectly. It also has sautéed red onion, garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper.

Ingredients
- Jarred, roasted red peppers
- Red onion
- Garlic - If your jar of roasted red peppers also contains garlic you don't need to add more.
- Olive oil
- Fresh thyme
- Balsamic vinegar
- Honey - When buying honey I like to buy creamy Canadian bee honey, from wildflowers if possible. We need to support our little bee friends now more than ever.
- Salt
- Pepper
See the recipe card below for quantities.
The gorgeous honey pictured below is natural, Canadian wildflower honey. Can you see the difference in the colour? It tastes sooo good too.
Instructions
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small pan. Sauté onion until it softens and just begins to become translucent. For the last minute add in the garlic.
Put all recipe ingredients into a blender and purée.
Serve room temperature or warmed.
How will you enjoy yours? I recommend trying my steak bites with roasted red pepper sauce... or tossing it into a fresh pasta.... or dipping some succulent shrimp in it. The possibilities are endless. Needless to say, this is a great sauce to have in your repertoire.
