Ingredients

Servings

10 Cubanelle Peppers (washed)
4 Tomatoes (large, ripe)
3 cloves Garlic (pressed)
¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Honey
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon Basil
¹⁄₄ teaspoon Oregano

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium heat (400 F).
Grill peppers for 3-4 minutes per side (or longer, if needed), until charred on all sides, but not burned.
Place in a bowl with lid, or if you don't have a lid, cover with plastic wrap. Let peppers cool to room temperature. Peel peppers.

For the sauce:

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Make a small cross cut ( 1/4 in x 1/4 in) at the bottom of each tomato.
Drop tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute, until skins start to wrinkle. Place tomatoes in a bowl with cold water for a few minutes. Peel tomatoes, cut into small cubes.
In a saucepan, combine tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, honey, basil and oregano. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 20-25 minutes, until thick, stirring frequently.
Serve topped with the tomato sauce. Garnish with parsley.
