Background

This middle-eastern inspired roasted red pepper spread with walnuts is a very versatile dish - it can be used as a sandwich filling; a pizza or pasta sauce; a dip with crudités or to spread on party nibbles and appetizers. It can be whizzed up in just 5 minutes. I keep a jarful in the fridge for "emergency" use.

Ingredients

100g roasted red pepper
50g walnuts
2 tsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp sweet paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp tomato purée
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Dry-fry the walnuts in a frying pan until fragrant, then let them cool.
Put all ingredients into a blender and whizz until you get a thick, textured paste. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Chill until needed.
