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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Wash the red capsicums thoroughly and pat them dry. Place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Peel the capsicums, remove the seeds and membranes, and add the flesh to a food processor.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Add the sautéed garlic to the food processor along with the roasted capsicums.
Step 8
Add lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 9
Chop the fresh parsley finely and fold it into the dip.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 11
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.
