2 red hot chili peppers
2 tbsp fresh parsley
Roasted capsicum and chilli dip

Roasted capsicum and chilli dip is a delicious, smoky, and slightly spicy dip that’s perfect for any occasion. This vibrant and flavorful dip is made with roasted red peppers, fiery chili peppers, tangy feta cheese, and fresh herbs. It's easy to make and packs a punch of flavor, making it a great addition to your snack or appetizer spread.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash and dry the red pepper and chili peppers.
- Place the red pepper and chili peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Roast the Peppers:
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
- Turn the peppers occasionally for even roasting.
4. Cool and Peel:
- Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate to let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes. This will make peeling the skins easier.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and remove the seeds.
5. Blend the Ingredients:
- In a food processor or blender, add the peeled and deseeded peppers, feta cheese, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
6. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. Depending on your preference, you might want a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Tips:

- Roast the red pepper and chili peppers until the skins are charred and blackened to enhance the smoky flavor.

- Allow the roasted peppers to cool in a sealed container or plastic wrap; this makes peeling off the skins much easier.

- Blend the ingredients until smooth for a creamy dip, or pulse a few times for a chunkier texture if desired.

- Add salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice to taste if you want to adjust the seasoning after blending.

- Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
