Once you taste this roasted red pepper dip, you'll never need to make another full-of-cheese, loaded-with-fat, red pepper dip again. I tweaked the recipe given to me by the chef of a local brewpub, Harvest Moon, where they charged $9 for a little ramekin of this stuff with some crudites and pita crisps. It was well worth the $9. That's how good this dip is. Trust me, try it.
