How To Make acuka
-
Step 1Place the red bell peppers under a broiler or over a stovetop flame, turning frequently, until the skin on all sides has turned black. Remove to a large bowl and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
-
Step 2Once the peppers have cooled, peel off the blackened skin and remove the stems and seeds. Rinse them in running water and pat dry.
-
Step 3Chop the peppers roughly and place them, along with all the remaining ingredients except the olive oil into a food processor or blender. Pulse to roughly chop the ingredients. Then slowly pulse in the olive oil. Try not to puree the ingredients.....you want a bit of texture in the dip.
-
Step 4Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve as a dip with pita wedges, vegetables, or kebabs.
