  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh basil

  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  4. Discard charred skin from pepper; discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper in a food processor. In a small skillet, saute shallot in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add broth; heat through. Add mixture to the food processor; process until blended.
