Ingredients:
4 tbsp olive oil
6 large red bell peppers
2 whole garlic cloves, roasted
lemon juice, to taste
salt to taste
Method:
Use 1 tbsp olive oil to brush the bell peppers and garlic. Place on a greased baking sheet (along with the garlic cloves) and cook in an oven at 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6) until the skins begin to blister. Remove from the oven, cover the peppers in clingfilm and set aside for ten minutes. Meanwhile mash the garlic with a fork.
When the ten minutes are up peel and de-seed the roasted peppers under cold running water. Place the peppers in a blender along with the garlic and the remaining olive oil. Purée until smooth then season with salt and olive oil to taste.
