- Strain through a fine mesh sieve for an ultra-smooth coulis.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips & Tricks
- For an even silkier texture, press the coulis through a fine mesh sieve using the back of a spoon.
- Enhance the coulis by adding a touch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
- If the coulis is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding a little water or vegetable stock.
- Always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving to ensure the perfect balance of flavors.
