Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound red bell peppers (or 45 red poblano peppers)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (peanut oil recommended)
  • ¼ cup white flour
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 12 hot red peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to broil. Slice the red peppers in half and place them skin-side up on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  2. Broil the peppers for about 15 minutes until charred and puffed up. Remove from heat and let cool before peeling off the skins.
  3. In a large pot over medium heat, add peanut oil and stir in white flour to create a roux; cook until it reaches a peanut butter color.
  4. Add the chopped onion and optional hot peppers; sauté until softened.
  5. Stir in the roasted peppers, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook briefly before adding vegetable stock.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  7. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or by transferring in batches to a blender.
