  Red Pepper Dip


This dip has a fresh, interesting taste and is easy to make l when you use pimentos or sweet roasted peppers that come in jars or cans. I add pecans, which makes for a somewhat unusual combination. This is a big hit at parties, served with bagel chips, melba toast, fresh toast, or Pita and Cheese Toasts. It also makes a great pasta sauce.

2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 jalapeno pepper (about 1 tablespoon), seeded, or to taste
1/3-cup pecan pieces
1 cup drained sweet roasted or pimento peppers
1/3 cup virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Place the garlic and jalapeno pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process for about 10 to 15 seconds, until pureed. Add the remainder of the ingredients and process until the mixture is smooth. Serve as a dip with crispy chips or toast.

About 2 cups (4 SERVINGS)

Red peppers from a jar or can are the main ingredient in this delicious, piquant, easy to make soup.
