Roast Pepper Cashew Chilli Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Put the onions, celery and chopped peppers with the oil in your largest flameproof casserole dish or heavy-based saucepan, and fry gently over a low heat until soft but not coloured.
• Drain both jars of peppers over a bowl to catch the juices. Put a quarter of the peppers into a food processor with the chipotle paste, vinegar, cocoa, dried spices and herbs. Whizz to a purée, then stir into the softened veg and cook for a few mins.
• Add the tomatoes and refried beans with 1 can water and the reserved pepper juice. Simmer for 1 hr until thickened, smoky and the tomato chunks have broken down to a smoother sauce.
• At this stage you can cool and chill the sauce if making ahead. Otherwise add the kidney and black beans, and the remaining roasted peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces, then reheat. (This makes a large batch, so once the sauce is ready it might be easier to split it between two pans when you add the beans and peppers.) Once bubbling and the beans are hot, season to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 190 deg Celsius. Place the capsicum halves into a roasting pan & drizzle with olive oil.
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until skin blisters.
• Remove from oven, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap & leave to sweat.
• When capsicums are cool, the skins will peel off easily.
• Place capsicum flesh, remaining oil, chilli sauce and tomato paste into the bowl of a food processor, process to combine.
• Add Cashews and process again until smooth.
• Season with Salt & Pepper.
