Ingredients

  • 4 - red bell peppers
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • - salt, to taste
  • - black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

How To Make acuka

  • Step 1
    Place 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 2
    Once the peppers have cooled, peel off the blackened skin and remove the stems and seeds. Rinse them in running water and pat dry.
  • Step 3
    Chop 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 4
    Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve as a dip with pita wedges, vegetables, or kebabs.
