Italian Red Pepper Sauce

Notes

I consider red pepper sauces a category into and of themselves. Whether it's Spanish Romesco or Syrian Muhammara, they usually include some mixture of red pepper, nuts, and oil (along with various other flavorings).

This one is Italian-inspired, with red peppers, balsamic vinegar, and pine nuts. It's fantastic with roasted chicken or fried chicken thighs, as a dip for bread, or as a sauce for just about anything.
