Ketchup Replacement

This morning after yet another bad night's sleep I made breakfast for myself. Proper breakfast with posh sausages and fried (home-baked) bread... And in my fridge I found half an orange pepper and quite a lot of stilton and thought I could make them into a sauce.



I chopped up the pepper and stuck it in the pan with the sausages to get all caramelised and when they were looking nice stuck them in the blender with a wodge of the stilton and a bit of boiling water to thin it out. After completing the rest of the breakfast and getting it on a plate I dumped the sauce in the frying pan for a few seconds to heat through (though the pan was pretty hot so quite a bit stuck to the bottom) and poured it over my sausages.

I had fully expected this to be quite quite wrong - but somehow it wasn't. It was like a dreamy tangy ketchup and very tasty indeed, contrasting beautifully with the sausage and giving the eggs a nice lift. I wanted more of it to soak into the bread but alas there was only just enough.
