📝 Preparation Steps

FOR THE PEPPERS:

Oven roasting Method: Place whole peppers on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper and roast until softened and slightly charred. It takes around ⏱️ 20 minutes at 400 F (200 C). Turn the peppers at least once.

Grilling method: Preheat gas grill to medium heat (400 F). Clean grates.

Grill peppers for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes per side (or longer, if needed), until charred on all sides, but not burned.

Place in a bowl with lid, or if you don't have a lid, cover with plastic wrap. Let peppers cool to room temperature. Peel peppers.

FOR THE SAUCE:

To peel the tomatoes: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Make a small cross cut ( 1/4 in x 1/4 in) at the bottom of each tomato. Drop tomatoes in boiling water for ⏱️ 1 minute, until skins start to wrinkle.

Place tomatoes in a bowl with cold water for a few minutes, until cool enough to handle.

Peel tomatoes, cut into small cubes.

In a saucepan, combine tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, sugar, basil and oregano. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium and cook for ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, until thick, stirring frequently. Taste sauce and add more seasoning, if needed.
