(to roast onion and garlic in a microwave) place an un pealed onion in microwave for 5 minutes on high. In the last 2 minutes add garlic cloves. Combine peppers, onion, garlic, tomato (peeled, seeded and diced), thyme and stock in a sauce pan; simmer for 15 minutes. Transfer to food processor or blender, add pepper sauce and balsamic vinegar and then puree. Set aside.
