How to Make Roast Pepper Spread With Walnuts And Garlic

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast 2 large red bell peppers until the skin is blackened and blistered, about 20-25 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool completely. Once cool, peel, seed, and roughly chop the peppers.
  2. Combine the chopped peppers, 1/2 cup walnuts, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon cumin in a food processor.
  3. Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped but not completely pureed. You want a chunky paste with some texture.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or red pepper flakes to your preference.
  6. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let it come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
