Red Pepper + Lemon Dip
The food processor is my best friend.
As much as I love to be in the kitchen, there is always a point that if I have to chop one more clove of garlic I just might snap. Let's face it, prep is no fun! That’s why all the big name chefs have prep cooks in their restaurants. The prep cooks do all the dirty work and the real chefs get to just throw things in a pan and light them on fire.
So the closest thing to a prep cook that I can manage in my meager kitchen is...THE FOOD PROCESSOR.
I call him Francesco.
There is nothing better than throwing a bunch of ingredients into Francesco’s able hands and suddenly having something, well...quite tasty! So I bring you yet another quick dip featuring my partner in crime, the food processor...
RECIPE:
2 Roasted Red Peppers
1lemon Juice and Zest
2Tbs Olive Oil
1.5tsp salt
1Tbs parsley
1Tbs basil
6oz cream cheese
Put all ingredients in a food processor and chop until pureed and smooth. Serve on it’s own as a dip or over pasta, shrimp or chicken! ENJOY!
