Roast Pepper Cashew Chilli Dip Recipes

ROASTED SWEET PEPPER AND CHICKPEA DIP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle peppers with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, about 18 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub off skins and remove stems and seeds.
• In a food processor, puree chickpeas and garlic until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add roasted peppers and vinegar and puree until combined. With machine running, drizzle in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with radishes.

DOUBLE BEAN & ROASTED PEPPER CHILLI

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.
