Description

A simple Mediterranean sweet red pepper spread with just a hint of spice.
Great as a dip for bread or crudité.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup California walnuts, toasted

  • 1 (16-oz.) jar roasted red peppers

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons paprika

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

  • Extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped California walnuts and chopped fresh parsley (optional garnishes)

PREPARATION

  1. Place walnuts in a food processor and process until they become thick and smooth like walnut butter.

  2. Place peppers in a strainer and drain well. Transfer to a plate and press between paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

  3. Add to the food processor with remaining ingredients and puree until smooth.

  4. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with olive oil, walnuts and parsley, if desired.

  5. NOTE: Roasted peppers can vary in sweetness. Add an additional tablespoon of vinegar if the dip is too sweet, or a teaspoon of sugar if the dip is too tart.
