Roasted Red Pepper Coulis

1 c roasted red peppers

2 cloves garlic

juice of 1 lemon

1 T olive oil

Puree all ingredients in blender.

Recipe recommendation:  Tandoori-Spiced Chicken from Cooking Light magazine.

This is a delicious recipe and is simple to do.  For a finger food, use chicken tenders, marinate chicken tenders beforehand, then skewer, then broil for 10 minutes.  The acids in the yogurt tenderize the chicken and the ginger adds so much flavor.
