ingredients
- 2 medium red peppers
- 800 grams (1 cup plus 2 tablespoons) tins chickkpeas
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of pepper
- 2 small cloves garlic, crushed
- 50 grams crushed pistachios
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut the red pepper so the skin is predominately facing up. Cook on the highest rack for 15-20 minutes or until the skin has blackened and begins to blister. Remove from the oven and place in a paper bag to cool and sweat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place the chickpeas in a food processor along with the garlic and oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the skins from the pepper by pinching the blistered section and peeling. Add to the processor.
Step 3
Blend until smooth. You may need more oil to be able to reach a smooth and spreadable consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve alongside cheese crackers or refrigerate and eat when desired.
