Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Red capsicums (bell peppers)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wash the red capsicums thoroughly and pat them dry. Place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the capsicums and rub it evenly. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft, turning occasionally.
Once roasted, place the hot capsicums in a bowl and cover with cling film. Allow them to steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skin.
Peel the capsicums, remove the seeds and membranes, and add the flesh to a food processor.
In a small pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the sautéed garlic to the food processor along with the roasted capsicums.
Add lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and fold it into the dip.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with fresh vegetable sticks or keto-friendly crackers.
