Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Red sweet peppers
- 1 cup Marinated artichoke hearts
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the red sweet peppers and place them on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skins are charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a plate to trap the steam, making the skins easier to peel off. Let them cool for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, peel the skins from the peppers and discard the stems and seeds. Roughly chop the roasted peppers.
In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture in the food processor until smooth but slightly chunky for texture. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Transfer the paté to a serving bowl and garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables.
