Roasted red pepper sauce

I just tried this over some gold spotted bass with rice and it was KILLER! It would probably be even better over some fish, jumbo shrimp, scallops, etc with pasta.

What you need:

4 red bell peppers

1/4-1/2 7 oz can of chipotle peppers

8 oz sour cream

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teasponn cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

pinch of lemon zest and juice

Core bell peppers and cut them in half and press down flat (skin side up) on to a pan lined with foil. Roast at 450 for about 15 mins. Until skin bubbles and starts turning black. After roasting stack peppers and fold foil over and let steam in the oven another ten minutes. This makes it easier to peel the skin off.

Discard skin an throw into blender until fully pureed. Now add sour cream, salt, cilantro, lemon zest, cayenne pepper and chipotle peppers. Blend until pureed.

Just pour the sauce over seafood and you're good to go. Kind of a sweet and spicy sauce. A little rich, but really good!
