Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 large red bell peppers

6 large garlic cloves -- peeled

1/2 cup olive oil -- generous 1/2 cup, (not extra virgin)

1 tablespoon lemon juice -- 1 to 2

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup fresh, soft, white breadcrumbs -- 1/2 to 1, optional

 

Quarter the peppers, removing the stems and seeds, then put them into a saucepan

with the garlic and enough water just to cover them. Bring to a boil, then

simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the pepper is very tender. Drain well and

leave until cold.

 

Put the pepper and garlic in a food processor and puree. Then, gradually add

the oil and lemon juice until you have a soft, creamy mixture - it should

resemble mayonnaise.

 

Season, then chill before serving. The dip will thicken slightly as it stands,

but you can thicken it a bit more by stirring in some breadcrumbs. Add these

gradually as they take several minutes to swell and thicken the mixture, so

leave it to stand for a little before adding more.
