Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan over low-medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2–3 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Add the chopped red peppers, chopped tomatoes, crushed garlic, and fresh thyme sprig. Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
-
Step 3.
Remove the lid, then add the bay leaves and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20–25 minutes, until the peppers are very soft.
-
Step 4.
Remove and discard the thyme sprig and bay leaves. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
-
Step 5.
Pass the purée through a fine sieve into a clean bowl, pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
