Mr B loves this dip, so I thought I would make a healthy version for him. The walnuts add protein and phytonutrients, the peppers antioxidants. It is packed with plenty of flavour and can be used as a dip, a topping or marinade. There are lots of protein additions that complement this dish also, a Greek cheese or some beans or chickpeas can provide a texture contrast also.
Ingredients:
- 100g walnuts
- 200g jarred red peppers, drained
- 1 tsp. cumin powder
- 2 tbsp. EVOO
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. sumac
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
Method
- Blend the walnuts, red peppers, cumin, olive oil, salt, sumac, vinegar and garlic in a food processor. Add more olive oil if you need to loosen the mixture.
- To add more protein, consider fava beans, edamame, chickpeas or feta/manouri cheese
