DIRECTIONS
- Begin by roasting the red bell peppers. You can do this over an open flame, on a grill, or in the oven. Once the skin is charred and blistered, place the peppers in a sealed plastic bag for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel off the skin. Once peeled, remove the seeds and chop the peppers.
- Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted red bell peppers, toasted walnuts, garlic cloves, olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve the Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip with pita bread or crisp cucumber slices.
