    Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Dip

    Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Dip is healthy, tasty and easy to make! I could eat this all day! | The Recipe Wench

     

    Back in 2011 Jeff and I were headed to our "trip of a lifetime" safari in Kenya.  We were diverted (long story for another post) and ended up in Istanbul.

    Outfitted in our safari clothes and armed with our malaria meds and way more camera equipment than we needed, we made the best of a disappointing and frustrating situation and thoroughly enjoyed Istanbul.

    The food!  The traditional Turkish breakfast!

    I was really impressed and hope to return to explore more.

    One dish we especially enjoyed was a spicy salsa -- and I'm kicking myself now for not writing down the Turkish name for it. Once we tasted it, we ordered it with every meal.  No kidding.

    It was that good!

    Well, this delicious roasted red pepper dip . . . isn't that particular salsa, BUT it has the same addictive qualities!

    This dip recipe is delicious as soon as you make it, but if you let the flavors develop for an hour or two, my goodness it's amazing!

    By the way, I'm closing in on that Turkish recipe, and I won't stop until I succeed!

    ENJOY! - The Recipe Wench

      You could try and roast your own peppers. Here are basic instructions: To roast your own red peppers, you want to burn the skin until it's pretty black and blistered, then place the peppers in an air tight plastic bag or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to sweat, peel, and you are done. To char them, you can either put the peppers (which you cut in half and de-seed) under the broiler cut side down (so the skin is up), or on the grill cut side up (so the skin is down).

        Yes! I bet home-roasted red peppers would make this dip even more delicious. Thanks for the tip!
