I love this! I didn't have enough red peppers to follow the recipe properly, so I used one red pepper and about 5 large carrots and roasted them all together. I also added a splash of heavy cream and about a cup of white wine. Absolutely delicious. -
This was an EXCELLENT sauce but I did make some major modifications. I used marinated roasted red peppers out of the jar and saut?ed everything in just a scant teaspoon of oil and some Pam cooking spray as we are counting fat grams in our household. My biggest decision was to omit the broth altogether and just blend everything up in a food processor once the sauce ingredients had a chance to simmer in the skillet. It was delicious and there was plenty on hand to top two chicken breasts. Next time I would like to try adding fat free half-and-half. I will certainly use this recipe again--thanks for posting, CountryLady! :) -
This was AMAZING!!! I followed the recipe almost exactly except I used 2 shallots instead of the small onion and I also added about 1/2 cup of half and half. My whole family and my guests loved it! I served it over penne pasta and chicken. I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing! -

This sauce was delicious! I used marinated roasted red peppers from the jar. That made it super easy and quick, and it still tasted great.

Excellent sauce! Chicken broth instead of a ton of cream was great to lighten up the sauce. I also used jar roasted peppers which turned it into a "pantry" recipe. I served it with lump crab cakes.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
