Ingredients

• 2 whole Red bell peppers
• 100 g Sun-dried tomatoes in oil
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).

Step 2

Place the red bell peppers on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until the skins are charred and blistered.

Step 3

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a plate and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will make peeling the skins easier.

Step 4

While the peppers are cooling, drain the sun-dried tomatoes (if they are in oil) and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 5

Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them.

Step 6

Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and discard them.

Step 7

In a food processor, add the peeled red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Step 9

Transfer the pâté to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve as a dip with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks, or use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
