Chick Pea And Red Pepper Dip

Chick Pea And Red Pepper Dip



This is a great dip for family or company. It can be easily doubled or tripled.


Ingredients:
  • 1 can (540 mL or 19 fl. oz.) chick peas, rinsed, drained and skinned
  • *I realize that removing the skin from chick peas is a little time consuming but it's well worth it. The results are much smother.
  • 1 jar (370 mL) flame roasted peppers, sliced or whole
  • 3/4 - 1 cup sour cream, NOT lite
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. salt - or Lowrey's or McCormick's seasoned salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • a dash of Tobasco hot sauce
  • Serve with an assortment of veggies or toasted pita tips.
  • I like to garnish with either freshly chopped parsley, cilantro, chives or Spring onions(thinly sliced)
  • Note: If you want to turn this dip into a hot cooked dip you can add 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the ingredients. Bake in a lightly greased medium to large sized ramekin dish in a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes. Mmmmm so good.

Directions:
  1. Process all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  2. Chill in refrigerator for approximately 3 hours before serving.
  3. Makes approximately 2 cups
