Free Healthy Recipe - Chilli and Capsicum Sauce (mild)

Dairy free, Gluten free, Low carbohydrate, Low fat, Wheat Free

This chilli sauce is so delicious, I'd suggest making double the quantity and bottling it in an airtight container in the fridge. Capsicums and chillis are packed with nutrients that help protect us from heart disease and cancers. In particular, chillis contain the compound capsaicin, known to help relieve blocked sinus, boost your metabolism and help kill cancerous cells.

Ingredients

2 large red chilli peppers

1 large red capsicum

pinch sea salt

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 clove garlic

Method

Place the peppers and capsicum whole under a hot grill. Rotate them until they have blackened on all sides. Place in a plastic bag and set aside.

Once cool enough to touch peel the skin and remove the seeds. Place the peeled and seeded flesh in a food processor and process until smooth with the lemon juice, garlic and sea salt.
Serve as a side with the falafels, or store in the fridge for up to five days.

Note: Capsicum skin can irritate people with bowel problems.
