Roasted Red Bell Pepper Chutney/Sauce

I love sauces and chutneys. They really jazz up any type of dish and are so versatile. I love this roasted red bell pepper chutney/sauce on falafels, sandwiches, grilled cheese, pita wraps, and even salads. Roasting the red bell pepper provides so much flavor, so don’t skip this step.

Falafels are one of my FAVORITE meals ever. I just love the combination of flavors. I love adding 3 different sauces in my falafel. One of those is this roasted red bell pepper chutney. I also love adding cucumber yogurt sauce and also homemade hummus to my falafels.

Falafels always remind me of college when my friend, Vibha, would drive us to NYC to get the famous Mamoun’s falafel s, which was right next to the NYU campus. Those really were the days (but I didn’t know it). If I could back in time to the college days, I definitely would taken more spontaneous foodie road trips in the middle of the night. O, the things I know now that I didn’t back then. HAHA! =) Hope you love this homemade version as much as I do.
