Vegetable Dip & The Food Processor
Description
There are a lot of kitchen gadgets that end up hibernating in the back of the middle drawer for years at a time. One tool, though, that should get a lot of use in your kitchen is the food processor. It’s simple to use, and it can help you make a variety of delicious and healthy foods.
Recently, I’ve used my food processor to make cucumber soup, hummus and chopped vegetables for coleslaw. For all of these, I simply put the respective recipes’ ingredients into the bowl of the food processor, pressed “on” and let the blade do all the work.
Roasted vegetable dip is delicious and easy to make. The following recipe makes about a pint, enough to serve as an appetizer at a small dinner party.
Enjoy with organic veggies, whole grain pita....and of course some good friends!
- 1 large eggplant
- 1 red onion (peeled)
- 2 red peppers (seeded)
- 2 garlic cloves (peeled)
- Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt
- Black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400. Cut the eggplant, red onion, two red peppers, and two garlic cloves into 1-inch cubes. Toss veggies in a large bowl with olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Spread on a chemical free cookie sheet and roast in oven for 45 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly browned and soft, tossing occasionally during cooking. Let cool.
- Put veggies into bowl of food processor and process until almost smooth. Correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Dip will stay (in refrigerator) up to five days.
