I first tasted this roasted red pepper dip at a friend Priya’s place when she had us over for dinner. She had made this and some hummus to serve with toasted pita bread and both TH and I fell in love, being the dip lovers we are. Although we love a snack of vegetable sticks (called crudités if you want to sound fancy) with dips, I rarely make anything beyond an occasional hummus at home. That changed once we tasted this! I have since made this roasted red pepper dip at least 4 times, when entertaining and also when we just felt like having some.

The dip is naturally cream because of the walnuts and the olive oil we add and has a lovely deep flavour from the roasted bell pepper we add. Buy large, firm, red bell peppers to make this dip and you won’t be disappointed. Original recipe is from here. I have found that pita chips or toasted and cut up pita bread tastes best with it but use however you wish, even slathered on toasted bread or as based to a sandwich with vegetables, meat patty, etc.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw unsalted walnutss
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups roasted red bell pepper see below for how-to
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions
 

For Roasting Red Peppers

  • Wash the peppers and wrap each one in aluminium foil
  • On a low flame on your stovetop, roast the peppers by turning frequently until you feel the pepper is turning soft and you get a nice smell or charred pepper skin. Don't worry about the foil burning, it won't and is fire-safe
  • Unwrap carefully, there will be trapped steam inside
  • The pepper should have some charred parts of the skin and be soft overall
  • Gently cut open, remove the burnt parts of the skin and the seeds
  • Chop into pieces and set aside

To Prepare the Dip

  • Place the walnuts, salt, sugar, cumin, and garlic in a food processor or mixer and pulse to a coarse powder
  • Add the chopped pepper along with the olive oil and lemon juice
  • Grind to a fine paste. Add more oil if the dip is too thick and mix well
  • Adjust and add more salt if needed
  • Serve with pita bread or vegetable sticks

Notes

  • I have tried this roasted red pepper dip recipe with baked, unsalted walnuts and that works well too although the flavour of walnuts is much stronger.
  • You can also use roasted red pepper in jars available readymade in some supermarkets but freshly roasted ones have a much better flavour.
  • Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use up within a day.

    Hi, I used half sunflower seeds and half walnuts instead of all walnuts. I really wanted to use sunflower seeds for a dip or spread. You might need to pulse it longer, so all the seeds get ground. The dip is really good. I would definitely recommend roasting the pepper from scratch which is what I did.

    Lovely dip.. but as a Jain, what permutation can I make for the garlic and still retain the flavour? Any suggestions

      You want me to do math for you? 🙂 Ok so in the original measurements, 3/4 flour is to 1/4 milk. So we are using 1/3 portion of milk to the flour ratio. If you use 2 cups flour then what’s 1/3 of 2 cups? About .6 cups. May not be exact but just measure out 1/2 cup and a bit more.

    Can I substitute walnuts with anything else? My daughter is allergic to walnuts.
