INGREDIENTS:
- 3 large red capsicums
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup roasted macadamias, plus extra to serve
- 100g reduced fat feta
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh thyme leaves, to serve
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Assorted vegetables to serve
METHOD:
- PREHEAT oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- PLACE capsicums and garlic on lined tray. Use hands to cover with 2 teaspoons olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- TRANSFER tray to oven to bake. Remove garlic after 15 minutes, or once soft and golden.
- CONTINUE to roast capsicums for a further 25-30 minutes, or until blackened and soft.
- REMOVE capsicums and set aside to cool in a plastic bag and/or heatproof pot with lid, as this will help to soften the skin and allow for easy removal. Once cool, gently remove stem, seeds and skin from the capsicums.
- ADD roasted capsicums and garlic to a food processor, along with the macadamias, feta and lemon juice. Pulse a few times to combine. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in remaining olive oil until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- TRANSFER to a small bowl and top with fresh thyme leaves and extra macadamia pieces.
- SERVE with assorted vegetables.
RECIPE NOTES:
For a more budget-friendly option, you can substitute macadamias for pine nuts.
If you’re struggling to get the skins of your capsicums blackened enough in the oven, try using the grill for added colour and depth of flavour.
