Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Cream cheese
- 1 large Red capsicum (bell pepper)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the red capsicum on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Roast for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway, until the skin is slightly charred and softened.
Remove the capsicum from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and roughly chop the flesh.
In a food processor, add the cream cheese, roasted capsicum, parsley, garlic clove, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Process the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley if desired.
Serve with crackers, fresh vegetables, or breadsticks, or use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
