Equipment
- Food Processor
- Basting Brush
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 3 medium capsicums
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ cup almonds
- 200 grams firm feta
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/392°F (fan forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
- Place the whole red peppers onto the baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil and use a basting brush to brush the oil over the whole surface of each red pepper/capsicum. Add the garlic cloves to the pan and place the tray into the oven and roast for 20 minutes or until the skin is blistering. Remove from the oven, transfer the roasted red peppers and garlic to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or foil to trap the steam in. Set aside until they are cool enough to touch.
- Once cool enough to touch, remove the skin, core and seeds from the capsicum.
- Transfer the roasted capsicum to the drum of a food processor along with the almonds, feta and garlic. Pulse until you get a course texture and then blend until you reach your desired texture, whether that is smooth and creamy or a little coarser.
- Season with cracked black pepper and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve alongside your favourite veggie sticks and crackers or use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
