Ingredients

  • 2 red capsicums, halved and deseeded
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 150 g walnuts, roasted
  • Bunch of coriander or parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the capsicums on a bak­ing tray and drizzle the olive oil over them. Bake them at the top of the oven for 30 minutes, then chop them rough­ly and put them in a blender with the remaining ingredi­ents. Add more walnuts if you want a thicker spread. Serve it with a selection of crudités such as carrot batons, celery, cauliflower florets or spiralised zucchini, or spread on healthy crackers.
