4 red bell peppers, halved and seeded
3 slices white bread, crusts removed
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup pitted green olives
2 tablespoons capers
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
Salt, to taste
Lay the pepper halves skin side up on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Place about 3 inches under a preheated broiler and broil until the
skin blisters and turns black. Place the peppers in a plastic bag and
close it. Allow to cool and peel off the skin.
Tear the bread into small pieces and soak in the milk for 5 minutes.
Combine the peppers, bread, olives, capers, and garlic in an electric
food processor and process about 4 seconds, until the dip is well
mixed but still chunky. Add the remaining ingredients and process
until fairly smooth.
Serve with raw vegetables, crackers or toasted pita bread.
