Entertain while keeping it clean!
Ingredients
- 2 large red capsicum
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp caraway seeds
- 1/2 tsp smoky paprika
- 2/3 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- green beans to serve
- snow peas to serve
- sliced carrot to serve
- capsicum strips to serve
- chargrilled baguette to serve
Method
- Preheat grill to high. Cut the sides off each capsicum to get 8 pieces. Place capsicum on a foil-lined tray, skin side up, and grill for 10-15 minutes until the skin has blackened. Place in a plastic bag and set aside for 10 minutes to sweat (see tip). Peel and discard the blackened skin.
- Process capsicum flesh in a small food processor with garlic, oil, spices, cream cheese, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Serve dip with vegetable crudites and chargrilled baguette.
Handy Tips
Sweating the blackened capsicum in a plastic bag helps to loosen the skin making it easier to peel.
