Roast Capsicum and Garlic Dip

A sweet and spicy dip that goes perfectly with my Chickpea Chips, on top of a slice of Basic Paleo Bread or as a sauce for grilled lamb, chicken… any type of meat really!

Recipe Type: GF, DF, RSF, V, Paleo

Serves 10
Time 60min

Ingredients:

  • 500-600g red capsicum
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves roasted garlic
  • 1 clove raw garlic
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • Paprika, salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200degC.
  2. Chop capsicums in half, remove seeds then place on a lined baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil or spray.
  3. Place in oven and roast until skins begin to blacken in a few spots (15-20 min). Place 5 cloves garlic on the tray for the last 5 mins. (you could do this under a hot grill, alternatively)
  4. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 30mins.
  5. Place capsicum, all garlic and all remaining ingredients into a food processor. Process until smooth, taste and add more salt/pepper/paprika/lemon as desired for flavour.
