Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Deseed and cut the Red Bell Peppers (3) into quarters.

Rub the red peppers with Olive Oil (1 tsp) and put them on the baking sheet.

Roast for 35 to 40 minutes or until they are blackened and blistered in a couple of places. Turn down the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).

As soon as they come out of the oven, transfer the peppers into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

Spread the Walnuts (1 cup) in a separate baking sheet and toast for 7 to 9 minutes. Make sure to keep a close eye on them as they can burn easily. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, peel the skins off the peppers and transfer them into the bowl of a food processor.

Add in the Olive Oil (3 Tbsp) , Garlic (2 cloves) , zest and juice from Lemon (1) , Ground Cumin (1 tsp) , Paprika (1/2 tsp) , Cayenne Pepper (1/4 tsp) , Coarse Sea Salt (1/2 tsp) , and cooled walnuts.

Process until smooth, but still chunky. Taste for seasoning and add if necessary. Place the dip in a bowl and garnish it with Fresh Parsley (1 handful) and a couple of walnut pieces.
