This week’s Shirley J Step-by-Step Recipe:
I’m so excited to share this week’s featured recipe. I don’t know about you, but I don’t get nearly enough roasted red pepper flavor in my life. So in order to fill that vacancy I made one of the newest Shirley J Whisk Bliss recipes: Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.

Enough talk…let’s make this so we can eat!

Here’s what you’ll need for our Roasted Red Pepper Sauce: Shirley J Whisk Bliss Original or Whisk Bliss Original: Gluten Free (since the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup we are using the individual 2 oz. packets) water, fresh red peppers (or roasted red peppers in a jar), garlic and fresh basil.

Before you actually begin cooking make sure you get all your ingredients ready, measured out and in its place. The French call this mis en place. For our roasted red pepper sauce, this means you’ll need to measure your water, roast and puree your red peppers, mince your garlic and open up or measure your Whisk Bliss Original.

Once you’ve done that, you can start.

We served our Shirley J Roasted Red Pepper Sauce with cooked orzo. If you’ve never tried orzo pasta we highly suggest you do. It’s a small, almost rice-like pasta and has the most amazing chew.
