Ingredients
- 3 large red peppers cut into large pieces
- 1 teaspoon + 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup walnuts
- 2 garlic cloves peeled
- zest of a lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- a handful of fresh parsley chopped
- pita bread toasted – or any other chips/crackers of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Rub the red peppers with a teaspoon of olive oil and put them on the baking sheet. Roast for 30-35 minutes or until they are blackened and blistered in a couple of places.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, transfer the peppers into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Turn down the oven temperature to 325 degrees. Spread the walnuts in a separate baking sheet and toast for 7-9 minutes. Make sure to keep a close eye on them as they can burn easily. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Peel the skins off the peppers and transfer them into the bowl of a food processor. Add in the garlic cloves, rest of the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and now-cooled walnuts. Process until smooth, but still chunky.
- Taste for seasoning and add if necessary. Place the dip in a bowl and garnish it with fresh chopped parsley and a couple of walnut pieces. Serve it with pita bread, chips, or crackers of your choice.
