Seasoning mixture recipe - Red Pepper Paste

In Portugal we can find Red Pepper Paste in food stores ready to use.
But you can do your own recipe, also ready to use several times, for a wide variety of meats preferably pork, turkey and chicken.



RED PEPPER PASTE

10 to 12 red bell peppers, cored and seeded
7 to 10 large garlic cloves peeled
3 tablespoons bulk sea salt

Put all the ingredients in a food processor, in portions if you have a small one, scraping down the sides, from time to time, and process it till the paste is very smooth (you can add 1 or 2 tablespoon of water if necessary).
Transfer the paste preferably into a glass container with a tightly fitting lid, but before close, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of olive oil to cover the paste, to increase its preservation.
After using it 2 or 3 times you can cover it again with another tablespoon of olive oil.
Put the container in the fridge, ready to use , it will stay good for a long time.

You can use two or three tablespoons of this paste and rubbed on a big piece of meat to roast in the oven, small pieces to fry or the ribs to barbecuing.
