Step 1

We prefer red bell peppers in this dip. Any type of lean cracker may be used for the crumbs. Crush the crackers in a zipper-lock bag with a rolling pin. Serve with pita bread, homemade pita chips , or crudités or use as a sandwich spread.

Step 2

Process all ingredients in food processor until uniform coarse puree forms, about 15 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl halfway through processing. Transfer to bowl and serve. (Dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
