Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 10 M

Ingredients

• 4 red bell peppers
• 4 red chillies (medium heat)
• 40 ml water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 20 ml olive oil

Instructions

1. Cut the bell peppers into large chunks, discarding the seed core. Slice the chillies in half (discarding the seeds if you require a milder paste) and trim any stems.
2. Place the peppers, chillies, water, salt, sugar and olive oil in a food processor until smooth.
3. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and simmer gently until the mixture is thick and has reduced to a thick paste (about 1 hour) stirring frequently.
4. Keep stirring frequently to take care that the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
5. Allow it to cool then use as desired in Turkish recipes or any time that you want a little "heat" in your cooking.
6. This mixture can be kept in a refrigerator for up to 1 week in a sealable container. Or, it can be frozen in a small sealable plastic container.
