- 1⁄4 cup olive oil

- 1 roasted and peeled tomato (grilled then peeled)
- 1 roasted, peeled and seeded jalapeno (grilled then peeled)
- 3 piquillo peppers (or 1 large roast red pepper, peeled and seeded)

Add the tomato, jalapeno, piquillos, garlic, and shallot to the blender, puree until smooth. Add all other ingredients into a blender, pulse until smooth but a little bit chunky, adding a tablespoon of water at a time if needed to run the blender. Season with salt.
