Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper Dip

By

My husband and I are pretty set in our ways.

“I don’t like red peppers.” – Me
“I don’t like feta cheese.” – Him

However, if you saw us inhaling my sister-in-law’s Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper Dip last night, trust me, you wouldn’t know it. Creamy and flavourful, with just the right amount of heat, the dip is a perfect late-summer appetizer and pairs wonderfully with barbecue and beer. My SIL admittedly scooped the recipe from Emeril Lagasse and adapted it as her own, serving it with Twistos (so good!).

Roasted Red Pepper DipWe were well into noshing on the dip when I decided I simply had to blog it, so forgive the “eating-in-progress” photo. And if you happen to have leftovers, do this:

– Use it as a spread for sandwiches and wraps
– Heat through and toss it with freshly cooked pasta
– Use it as a topping for baked potatoes
– Spread it over a pizza crust in lieu of tomato sauce; top with roasted veggies

Of course, you could always simply enjoy round two of dipping. Click here for the recipe – Enjoy!

    Mmmmm, this looks so good will have to give it a try, I bet it would be good on the pizza crust in place of the sauce!!

    I actually made a dip like this few weeks ago. I usually get it at a bakers but its so expensive for a teeny amount to share. I decided to make my own, I did add a jalapeno pepper to my recipe. So so soooooo good. Making it on my own I also got way more to eat for way less price.

    Sounds yummy! Wish my kids were more adventurous and I would willingly make this for the family. I need to try this though when friends come over. Hmm, love lots of garlic.

    This dip looks and sounds so delicious and I think I’d make it really spicy, maybe add some jalapenos. I love that the chips get treated too.
