Add last tb. of the oil to the pepper and onion mixture remaining in the skillet. Continue to saute over low heat for 4 or 5 more minutes, until onions are very soft and beginning to caramelize. Add chicken broth and lemon juice, put the mixture in a food processor or blender and process until creamy.
