Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Arrange drained peppers on a double layer of paper towels; let dry.

  2. Step 2

    Process the remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or blender, until the capers and parsley are very finely chopped.

  3. Step 3

    Add peppers and process with on-off switch until the peppers are coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess. Stop several times to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure mixture is evenly chopped.

  4. Step 4

    Check the seasonings and adjust as necessary.

  5. Step 5

    Serve with crudites.

Tip
  • For crudites: 2 large heads of fennel, with tops and tough outer leaves trimmed, cut into ¼-inch-thick wedges around the core so that the slices hold together; 2 Japanese cucumbers, sliced on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick pieces, and 6 large heads Belgian endives, bottom trimmed and outer leaves removed and discarded, and other leaves carefully separated and used.

Agree with prior comment- make sure to dry the peppers thoroughly! Good flavor, a touch watery.

I would drain the peppers on more layers - 3-4. My sauce came out a bit runny, albeit delicious.
