Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2) Place onions and peppers (cut side down) on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until pepper skins are completely wrinkled and peppers and onions are charred. Rotate sheet if necessary during roasting.
3) Once peppers and onions are roasted transfer them to a food processor or blender and add garlic, tomato paste, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, parsley, soy sauce, and paprika. Puree all items together until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water or two if the sauce is too thick and needs to be loosened up.)
4) Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired. Add red pepper flakes if you desire a little more heat.
5) Pour sauce into a sauté pan and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
