Steps:
- Toast walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Adjust seasoning with more lemon juice and salt, if desired.
Tips:
- To ensure a smooth and flavorful spread, use ripe and juicy red peppers. Roasting the peppers enhances their natural sweetness and smoky flavor.
- For a spicier spread, use a combination of hot and mild red peppers. Remove the seeds and ribs of the hot peppers before roasting to control the heat level.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the roasted peppers, garlic, and walnuts by hand. However, a food processor makes the process much easier and faster.
- Taste the spread and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
- Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze the spread for up to 3 months.
