ROAST PEPPER SPREAD WITH WALNUTS AND GARLIC



Roast Pepper Spread with Walnuts and Garlic image

This stuff is great, and I have never tasted it in this country except in my own kitchen. I first had it in Turkey, where it was quite spicy, but have since learned that it's equally acceptable milder. Dried urpa or aleppo pepper, or hot paprika, is the ideal seasoning-a bit of bite but not overwhelming-but judicious use of hot red pepper flakes is also good. You can also omit the heat entirely. This spread can be made hours or even a day in advance. Always, however, serve it at room temperature, never cold. Serve with bread or vegetable sticks; it makes a great sandwich ingredient too.

Yield makes about 2 cups, enough for 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 or 4 red peppers, roasted (page 470), or about 1 1/2 cups canned or jarred red peppers (preferably piquillos, but pimientos are okay too)
1 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon roughly chopped garlic
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Hot red pepper flakes, hot paprika, or any small dried chile to taste
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Make sure the peppers are without seeds. Combine them in a food processor with the walnuts, garlic, oil, the grated zest of the lemon, and the cumin. Process, turning the machine on and off, so the ingredients are pulverized but not pureed; you want a paste, but one with a little texture. (You could use a mortar and pestle if you have one, plus the energy.)
  • Transfer the paste to a bowl and add the hot red pepper flakes, salt, and juice of the lemon. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve or cover and refrigerate for up to a day or two (bring back to room temperature before serving).

Tips:

  • Toast the walnuts before using them. Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a food processor to make the spread. A food processor will make quick work of chopping the walnuts and garlic. You can also use a blender, but you may need to stop and stir the mixture a few times to make sure it's evenly blended.
  • Add some herbs or spices to the spread. If you want to add some extra flavor to the spread, you can add some herbs or spices. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or vegetables. Walnut garlic spread is a delicious appetizer or snack. You can serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables. It's also great as a sandwich spread.
