| roasted red pepper dip - before baking |
I made this dip a couple nights ago for a party, and since I only vaguely followed a recipe I was hoping, hoping it would turn out. Once it was mixed together (but still cold) I sampled some, and so did Micah. And we could hardly keep ourselves from gobbling it up. So I figured it would also be good hot. And yes, yes, it was good. :) The next day we ate the leftovers with our lunch, Micah and I. (He's a lover of fine foods, that boy.)
[All measurements are approximate, since I made it without measuring...]
1 jar of roasted red peppers (about 300ml)
1 package light cream cheese
1-2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
2-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1-2 cups monterrey jack cheese, grated
fresh ground black pepper, to garnish
Drain the roasted red peppers. Puree the peppers, cream cheese, onion, and garlic until smooth. (I used my hand-blender.) Stir in mayo, parmesan, and monterey jack cheese. Place in a small baking dish. Top with fresh ground black pepper.
Bake approx 30 minutes at 350, or until bubbly.
Serve warm with crackers or tortilla chips.
It looks delicious Charisa. You come up with the most nummy looking dishes! Where do you buy roasted red peppers? (I mean where are they in the grocery stores) I have never bought them but I might just have to cause this looks too good to just look at:) Auntie Coke

Probably one person Laur, cause it looks delicious! You could just sit in the car and eat it and then apologize to people that you were not able to get anything there :)
