This is a WONDERFUL tasting dip that is EASY to make. The prep time does not include the cooling time, which takes about 15 minutes. Ingredients:
2 roasted red peppers, peeled and seeded |
2 garlic cloves, minced (not from jar) |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1 tablespoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
thin crackers or toasted baguette, sliced |
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet or jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil, using enough foil so that there is extra on the sides.
2. Place peppers on the foil. Broil 6 to 8 inches below the broiler element. Rotate to char on all sides.
3. Remove from oven and draw up sides of foil to enclose the peppers. Allow to rest 5 minutes.
4. Open the foil, and when the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove stem and peel and seed the peppers.
5. Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.
