Ingredients

  • 10 medium-size hot red peppers, such as red jalapeños or fresnos

  • 8 medium red bell peppers

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 medium red onions, sliced

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

  • 2 bay leaves

  • One 2-inch piece cinnamon stick

  • Kosher salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Roast peppers over gas stove, grill, or broiler until skins are completely charred. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove charred outer skins, cut in half, and remove seeds and cores. Finely chop peppers.
