What is a coulis? According to the book Professional Baking, it is a thin sauce made from vegetables or fruits. I love how this looks due to the vibrant colour!
Do you enjoy sauces? have a look at: salsa verde, Mexican red sauce, and peri peri sauce!

How to roast bell peppers?
- Cut the peppers in halves and remove the seeds and core before even roasting them!

- Make sure you remove the core and the seeds, and that you cut them into two before roasting the peppers. This will make it easier to remove the skin
- Run the roasted peppers through warm water to cool them quickly. Do not use completely cold water as that might make the skin removal a bit more difficult
What are the variations of red bell pepper coulis?
- Some recipes include roasted shallots
- To make a spicy roasted red pepper sauce, you can include 1 or 2 African bird’s eye chilies or any spicy chilies. Add one by one! otherwise, it can get too spicy!
- You can combine this with orange peppers, but I suggest to skip the green ones, as they have a completely different flavor!
- To make this feel like an Italian roasted peppers recipe, include herbs like basil and oregano into the blender!
What can I use red bell pepper coulis for?
- Crudités, or roasted veggies
- With crackers
- On pasta!
- Added on soups or in main dishes such as our delicious vegan steak

Notes
- Some variations of this sauce include using shallots or other herbs. I personally like to keep this very simple as it turns delicious!
- You can also add 1 teaspoon of veggie stock powder to give it more flavor
- This is a vegan red pepper coulis
- This recipe is whole30 compliant
- I enjoy making this as a spicy roasted red pepper sauceby adding 1 or 2 spicy chilies (African bird’s eye chilies, for example)
- If you are using a Nutri Ninja, and the small bullet blender, I would not remove the skin, it will just completely “melt” if you blend it for around 40 seconds. It does not have the same taste, but I still like having the whole food!
