Instructions

  1. Refer to our roasted pepper post to learn how to roast red peppers
  2. If you are roasting your peppers, roast them with a head of garlic drizzled with olive oil and the top cut off.  If you are using jarred red peppers, use one clove of raw garlic or roast a head of garlic 
  3. Place roasted peppers, garlic, and the remaining ingredients in the food processor and process until is still a little chunky.
