Peppers with leek and oregano sauce

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 1 bell pepper(s), red or orange
• 1 tsp oregano
• 5 tbsp olive oil or peanut oil
• ¼ stalk(s) leek
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 1 dash of tomato sauce
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Chop the vegetables. Heat the oil in a pan, then sauté the garlic, bell pepper, and leek. Add a dash of tomato sauce to prevent it from becoming too dry, then season with oregano and salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables over medium heat until soft, but be careful not to overheat the stovetop, or the vegetables will burn, and you don’t want any roasted flavors. Once everything is soft, puree everything with a hand blender, but not too finely, or it will become a mush. Return it to the pan and serve as a sauce with pasta. The whole thing takes no longer than 25 minutes, including prep time. Tastes delicious, is healthy, and is quick.
