Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 red bell peppers (about 1 pound) One 6-inch pita bread (2 ounces) 1 cup water 1 small garlic clove 4 ounces walnut pieces (about 3/4 cup), toasted, plus more for garnish 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, plus more for garnish (optional) 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Roast peppers over a gas burner until blackened all over, turning with tongs as each side is blistered. (Alternatively, place under a broiler.) Transfer to a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap; let stand about 15 minutes. Peel, and discard skins, stems, and seeds. Set peppers aside.

Toast pita bread until crisp and golden. Break into 2-inch pieces; place in a bowl, and cover with the water. Soak until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a sieve, and drain well, pressing out excess water. Set aside.

Combine garlic and walnut pieces in the bowl of a food processor; process until fine crumbs form, about 10 seconds. Add paprika, cumin, and reserved peppers and pita bread; process until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add vinegar, lemon juice, oil, and salt, and season with black pepper. Pulse until combined.

Transfer to a serving bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Before serving, bring to room temperature. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with walnuts or paprika, as desired.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       07/04/2018   I added fresh basil to this recipe and liked the addition. Good Vegan recipe  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 1 stars       10/18/2015   I hate to say it but I did not like this. I love roasted red peppers and had high hopes for this recipe. I'm glad I tried it before serving it to company. I won't be making it again.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/04/2013   I used this recipe as inspiration yesterday. I added roasted jalapeno peppers and omitted the pita bread and water. I was fantastic!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/10/2013   You can prepare this without the pita bread: the flavor is the same and the texture is great. I've prepped it both ways. Each time I added some chopped fresh serrano pepper to add some heat. The flavors blend well and the spread holds up in the fridge for several days. Delicious!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/27/2012   This is absolutely delicious. Very flavorful. I used Hungarian hot paprika to give it an extra kick. It definitely tastes better the second day, so I advise making it a day ahead.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/22/2012   oops, I see... the pita bread goes IN the mix. Bummer, as we're gluten-free over here.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/22/2012   You don't specify when/if to add the 1 cup of water. I blended it with everything and it was way too liquid-y. I'm leaving it in the fridge over night, hoping it gets more edible. Please advise.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/21/2009   sooooooo good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/18/2008   Outstanding. Easy and delicious. I often grill red or yellow peppers and freeze them when they are in season or well-priced. Having them ready made this easy recipe even quicker. Great as a dip or as a spread on a sandwich. Delicious with shrimp and poultry.
