Steps:
- For the peppers: Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, 7 to 10 minutes. Place in a plastic or paper bag, and cool for about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and discard. Coarsely chop the peppers.
- Transfer the peppers and garlic to a food processor and process until smooth. Add the cheese and process until smooth. With the machine running, add 1/4 cup of the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice in a steady stream through the feed tube. Add the basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and process until smooth. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. Transfer to a decorative bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. Before serving, drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve cool or at room temperature, with assorted crudite for dipping.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet and rub 1 teaspoon of oil into the top of each head. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and place, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Squeeze each head of garlic to expel the cloves into a bowl. Mash into a paste. Set aside until needed.

ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER AND GARLIC DIP
This is a wonderful dip for crackers, the sweetness of the peppers is mellowed with the spicyness of the garlic. I use one fresh lime for the juice, it works fine. Very elegant looking on a cracker tray and it is also good on veggies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss peppers with 1/4 cup olive oil in bowl. Transfer peppers to large rimmed baking sheet. Roast peppers until partially charred, turning every 10 minutes, about 50 minutes.
- Transfer peppers to reserved bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cool 15 minutes. Peel and seed peppers over bowl. Tear each pepper lengthwise into 6 strips. Transfer pepper strips to heavy large skillet. Strain liquid from bowl into skillet. Add garlic, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to skillet. Simmer over medium heat until liquid becomes syrupy, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Cool. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.)
- Transfer pepper mixture to platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful red peppers: This will ensure the dip is bursting with flavor. Look for peppers that are deep red in color and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the red peppers until they are slightly charred: This will give them a smoky and caramelized flavor. Be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: This will add a rich and nutty flavor to the dip. If you don't have olive oil, you can use another type of vegetable oil, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overcook the garlic: Garlic can quickly burn, so be careful not to cook it for too long. Just a few minutes in the pan will suffice.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor: Fresh herbs will add a bright and vibrant flavor to the dip. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Serve the dip with a variety of crudités: This will allow your guests to choose their favorite vegetables to dip. Some good options include fennel, carrots, celery, and cucumbers.
Conclusion:
This roasted red pepper and garlic dip with fennel crudités is a delicious and healthy appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this dip a try!
