Categories     Spreads

Time 15m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, rinsed
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt

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.

Conclusion:

This Turkish red pepper spread is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be enjoyed in various ways. It is perfect as a dip for bread, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread, a marinade for grilled meats, or a sauce for pasta.
