- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Serving: 4

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh red bell peppers for the best flavor.
- Roast the peppers until the skin is charred and blackened for a smoky flavor.
- Use a blender or food processor to puree the roasted peppers for a smooth texture.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and stems. Place the peppers on a baking sheet, cut side down, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is charred and blackened.

3. Once the peppers are cool, remove the skin and chop them into small pieces.
4. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
5. Add the flour to the saucepan and stir until the mixture is smooth.
6. Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
7. Add the chopped roasted red peppers, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
