Prague Sweet Bell Pepper Sauce

2 Yellow Peppers
1-2 cloves garlic
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/3 cup cooking cream (or milk)


1. Roast 2 Yellow peppers and 1 clove of garlic under a broiler

2. Cook 2 chopped up yellow onions in 1 Tbs butter until softened

3. Boil 2 1/2 cups chicken broth

4. Add roasted peppers & garlic and the yellow onions to the broth.
5. Blend mixture with a hand blender. 

6. Bring mixture back to a boil 

7. Combine 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch in 1/3 cup cooking cream until mixed

8. Slowly add cornstarch and cream mixture to the boiling sauce. 


This is a typical Czech sauce that they would put over dumplings (sort of like the inside of soft bread), but we put it over rice. I put a pork tenderloin in the crock pot with the 2 onions, salt, and pepper and cooked it all until the meat was finished (about 4 hours), then I took the onions and the juices from the pork tenderloin to add to the sauce. I just figured if you cooked the onions in some butter, you could get a similar finished product. I figured there was maybe an extra 1/2 cup of liquids, so I added 1/2 cup of broth to my recipe. 

Enjoy your international dish!! Everyone in my family of 6 gobbled this up!
