Ingredients
-
½ Persian Lime Olive Oil, divided
-
4 Red bell peppers, de-seeded and diced
-
1 White onion, diced
-
3 Cloves garlic, minced
-
2 Tbsp. Sicilian Lemon Balsamic
-
½ Tsp. Ground cumin
-
½ Tsp. Red pepper flakes
-
2 Cups diced toasted walnuts
-
2 Tbsp. Pomegranate Balsamic
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place diced peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. of Persian Lime Olive Oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the peppers are tender and slightly charred.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp. of Persian Lime Olive Oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, sautéed onion and garlic, Sicilian Lemon Balsamic, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, and toasted walnuts. Pulse the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl as needed.
While pulsing, gradually drizzle in the remaining olive oil until the dip reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the dip to a wide serving bowl. Garnish with additional chopped toasted walnuts. Drizzle Pomegranate Balsamic- and additional Persian Lime Olive Oil, if desired- over the dip just before serving. Serve with pita bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
