Roasted pepper and broad beans dip
Background
This roasted pepper and broad beans dip is vegan, healthy, low-carb, low-cal and gluten-free. Most importantly it’s really yummy and super easy to make, particularly if you have leftover roasted/barbecued/grilled veggies. ( You can use roasted/grilled garlic, instead of raw - add about 4 cloves to the food processor. Add some chilli flakes or a chilli pepper to make it more spicy. Serve it with crudites or as a spread on toast or nibbles and in sandwiches.
