1 cup of minced shallots
2 cloves minced garlic
1 TBS of extra virgin olive oil
1 QRT(or more) vegetable stock
2 TBS of red wine vinegar
1/4 tbs of cayenne pepper
1/2 cup of half and half..
1 TBS fresh chopped thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
Halve, seed, and rinse bell peppers, and place in broiler(skin side up) for 15-20 minutes.
When done place in large glass bowl, and cover with cling wrap. Let "steam" for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes rest, peel skins off the peppers. Set peppers aside.
In a heavy pot or Dutch oven heat olive oil then add garlic, shallots, and thyme...
Sauté for 3-5 minutes, then add peppers.. Continue for an additional 5-10 minutes then add vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer, and continue for 30 minutes...
After 30 minutes add cayenne, half an half, then blitz with an immersion/stick blender till smooth.
Allow to simmer for and additional 20 minutes before serving.... I like to add minced Basil, and eat with warm crunchy bread...
Yes I say "blitz" so get over it, and fuck off!
