Roast Pepper Spread With Walnuts And Garlic

1. 1

   Make sure the peppers are without seeds. Combine them in a food processor along with the walnuts, garlic, olive oil, the grated zest of the lemon, and the cumin.

2. 2

   Pulse to process so the ingredients are pulverized but not pureed; you want a paste, but one with a little texture. (If you are feeling energetic and have a mortar and pestle, you can also process by hand.).

3. 3

   Transfer the paste to a bowl and add the juice of the lemon, hot red pepper flakes, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.

4. 4

   Serve, or cover and refrigerate for a day or two (bring back to room temperature before serving).
