Steps:
- For the peppers: Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, 7 to 10 minutes. Place in a plastic or paper bag, and cool for about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and discard. Coarsely chop the peppers.
- Transfer the peppers and garlic to a food processor and process until smooth. Add the cheese and process until smooth. With the machine running, add 1/4 cup of the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice in a steady stream through the feed tube. Add the basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and process until smooth. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. Transfer to a decorative bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. Before serving, drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve cool or at room temperature, with assorted crudite for dipping.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the garlic on a foil-lined baking sheet and rub 1 teaspoon of oil into the top of each head. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and place, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Squeeze each head of garlic to expel the cloves into a bowl. Mash into a paste. Set aside until needed.
ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER AND GARLIC DIP
This is a wonderful dip for crackers, the sweetness of the peppers is mellowed with the spicyness of the garlic. I use one fresh lime for the juice, it works fine. Very elegant looking on a cracker tray and it is also good on veggies.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful bell peppers: The quality of the bell peppers you use will greatly impact the flavor of your dip. Look for peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
- Roast the bell peppers before blending: Roasting the bell peppers enhances their sweetness and smoky flavor. You can roast them in the oven or over an open flame.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy dip. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the bell peppers by hand, but it will take more time and effort.
- Add seasonings and herbs to taste: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create a dip that suits your taste. Some popular options include garlic, onion, cumin, paprika, and chili powder.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate: Red bell pepper dip is best served immediately, but you can also refrigerate it for later. If you refrigerate the dip, let it come to room temperature before serving.
