    • 5 red peppers, seeded and sliced

    • 4 spring onions, sliced
    • 1 red chilli, seeded and chopped

    Instructions

    1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C.

    2

    Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast until the skins are charred. Place in a plastic bag to sweat (makes it easier to peel the skin), and chop roughly.

    3

    Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the garlic, spring onions and chilli, 2 – 3 minutes.

    4

    Transfer the peppers, spring onion mixture and tomatoes to a blender and blend until smooth.

    5

    Heat the stock in a pot and add the pepper mixture. Cook until heated through. Add the vinegar and basil, season and serve.
