How to Make Masai Mara African Red Pepper Spread
- Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C).
- Wash and halve 2 large red bell peppers. Remove seeds and membranes.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the peppers and gently rub it in.
- Place peppers cut-side up on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle 2 cloves minced garlic over the peppers.
- Roast for 10 minutes, then flip and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the peppers are blackened and slightly charred.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and remove stems.
- Cut the roasted peppers into strips.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted peppers, 2 cloves minced garlic, ½ cup pecan halves, ¼ cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1-2 small red chilies (finely chopped, adjust to taste), ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Process until completely smooth.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately with crusty bread or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
