Instructions
- Start by roasting the onions and red peppers. This can be done on a gas grill, under the broiler, or on a cast iron grill pan. The goal is to get char marks on the peppers and onions. They do not require complete cooking at this stage.
- Add the chopped charred peppers and onions to a food processor or blender. You can also use an immersion blender if you have one. Blend the ingredients until they are completely pureed.
- Add the grilled peppers and onions to a food processor along with the minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, lemon zest, red Thai chilies, smoked paprika, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Puree until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Transfer the sauce to a medium saucepan and add the bay leaves. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 15-25 minutes.
- Allow the sauce to room temperature. Remove the bay leaves from the sauce and return it to the food processor.
- Combine the remaining lemon juice, lemon zest, and red wine vinegar. Until the sauce is fully smooth, mix the ingredients for a while longer.
- Pour the extra virgin olive oil into a thin stream while the processor is running to emulsify the sauce.
- Transfer the Pepes Sauce to a glass jar and keep it in the refrigerator before using.
