SOUR-CREAM CHILE SAUCE

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

This recipe originally accompanied Salmon and Leek Pie.

1 red bell pepper
1 fresh red or green hot chile
a 16-ounce container sour cream (about 2 cups)

Quick-roast and peel bell pepper and cut into 1-inch-thick strips. Wearing protective gloves, seed and mince enough of chile to measure 1 teaspoon. In a blender blend roasted pepper, chile, and sour cream until very smooth and season with salt and black pepper. Sauce may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.

Makes about 2 cups.

Not as spicy as I thought. Good quality roasted peppers in a jar can be substituted and is a time saver. It is good with salmon and leek pie.

This sauce which was features with the salmon and leek pie is delicious. I made a caviar sour cream sauce with chives and chervil to accompany the pie. SUPERB
