Roasted red pepper spread with walnuts

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.
