ROASTED RED PEPPER SPREAD

(Submitted by Parrish)

INGREDIENTS

7 ounces roasted red peppers

2/3 cup bread crumbs

1/3 cup walnuts

2 to 4 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes, or to taste

About 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Blend the first nine ingredients, then add the olive oil. Add this slowly, as it may take less.

Parrish’s Notes: To roast peppers: 400° F oven or toaster oven. Line a pan with foil, lightly oil peppers, place in pan and roast, turning every 10 minutes until black on all sides. Put into a paper bag (over a bowl or plate to catch oil and juice drippings) until cool enough to handle. Remove skin, membrane and seeds. DO NOT rinse under water - this will remove that lovely 'smoky' flavour. Rinse your hands instead! (Also cut into strips to use in sandwiches, salads, soup, etc. This freezes well, as does the spread).
