This is a wonderful dip for crackers, the sweetness of the peppers is mellowed with the spicyness of the garlic. I use one fresh lime for the juice, it works fine. Very elegant looking on a cracker tray and it is also good on veggies.

This is fantastic! I've never made anything like this before, but it was easy and turned out great. The hardest part was roasting the pepper. I went to this website http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Roasting-Peppers/Detail.aspx which gave step by step instructions and pictures. I think I could have roasted them a little longer, but I was afraid of burning them. I also halved the recipe to try it the first time and used Neufchatel to cut the fat somewhat. Great recipe!

New cooks might want to know that bell peppers can be roasted by sticking them with a long fork and holding them over a flame until the skin is charred. Then put them, while still hot, into a closed brown paper bag and the steam will loosen the skin. Red Bell Peppers are a little sweeter than the green ones, but also more expensive. A frugel cook can use the green peppers and add a little sugar to the dip.
