Golden Masala Pepper Sauce

Some days, I’m not excited about cooking an elaborate meal. Or, I just can’t find the time before everyone in my family is hangry. One of my favorite solutions for this, is to have a variety of delicious, homemade sauces on hand. They can be dipped with bread or crackers, spread over simple steamed veggies or baked with a chicken breast. They are easy and add a bright, fresh pop to our meals on the fly.

This Golden Masala Pepper Sauce is one of my favorite fresh sauces to have on hand in the autumn and winter. It is a little peppy and warming to the soul as the weather cools outside. This special blend of spices will kick your digestion into gear, get circulation moving and the peppers are full of vitamins and antioxidants.

Here is the super simple recipe…

Ingredients:

4 Chopped Bell Peppers

1 Chopped Onion

4 Diced Garlic Cloves

1 Tbsp Golden Masala Spice Blend

1 C. Olive Oil

1 Tsp. Salt

1 Squeeze of Lemon

Instructions:

Over medium heat, in a large sauce pan, warm a drizzle of olive oil. Add onions, peppers and Golden Masala Spice Blend and cook until tenderized. Add garlic and cook until all the veggies are translucent. Transfer to a blender and blend with lemon, salt and remaining olive oil.

Serve on the fly with a box of crackers or a 4 course meal.
