Ingredients
1cupCashew nuts *soaked overnight, rinsed and drained well
2Red peppers
6-7Garlic cloves
2tbspExtra virgin olive oil
1tspDried oregano
1/2tspPaprikaYou can use any variety. Add less or more according to your taste
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or aluminium foil.
Rub 1 tbsp olive oil all over the red peppers and garlic cloves. Place them on the baking tray and roast for 20-25 minutes. Yo would need to turn the bell peppers a couple times. When the skin is slightly charred, your peppers are ready.
Place them in a bowl and keep them covered for 5-10 minutes. The skin will be easy to peel off now.
Combine the drained cashews, roasted bell peppers, garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper in your high speed blender or food processor. Blend till smooth. Yo may want to add a splash of water if you find the consistency too thick. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Enjoy!
Notes
You can also soak the cashews in hot water for 2-3 hours. RinseĀ and drain them well before using.
