My favourite harissa red pepper dip.

Homemade dips are one of my fridge essentials and it’s not all about the dipping! You can use them as spreads, dressings, sauces, fillings – I add them to just about anything.

Ingredients

  • 180g hazelnuts, toasted
  • 360g jar of roasted peppers, drained

  • 1 tsp harissa
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • A pinch of black pepper

Method

  1. If you're using un-toasted hazelnuts, pan-fry the hazelnuts for around 2 minutes until lightly brown.
  2. Set aside 5 or so whole hazelnuts for decoration.
  3. Using a blender, blitz all the ingredients for about a minute until they form a smooth paste.
  4. Serve topped with hazelnuts and enjoy!
