Ingredients

8 servings

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, (finely chopped)
4 large (or 5 medium) red bell peppers, (seeded and thinly sliced)
2 large tomatoes, (peeled, seeded and finely chopped)
½ whole canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, (coarsely chopped (add a whole one for more spice))
1 bunch fresh basil, (coarsely chopped)
salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)

Steps

In a large non-aluminum saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened.
Add sliced bell peppers, tomatoes, chile, and basil, cover partially, and cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, or until softened. Remove from heat.
Purée the vegetables in a food processor fitted with the metal blade for about 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth with some texture remaining. Add the salt and pepper, tasting for seasoning.
