3 large red bell peppers, seeds removed

Juice of ½ lemon

2 Tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil

2 Tablespoons vegan mayonnaise OR 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (if you like a little heat)

Method:

Chop the peppers coarsely and place in a small pot with a splash of water and the salt. Cover with a lid and over medium heat, simmer in their own juices for about 10 – 15 minutes watching that they don’t burn. Drain well. Add the peppers and the remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

*The peppers can also be oven roasted instead of being cooked on the stove top.
