How to Prepare Roasted Red Pepper Lentil Dip [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Turn on the broiler, and put the peppers in the oven on a baking tray.
  2. Rotate occasionally until fairly dark all over, then remove with tongs to a bowl and cover so they can steam. After 30 minutes you can peel the skins off and remove the seeds, then set aside.
  3. Rinse the red lentils, then add to a small pot with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil then simmer covered for 12-15 minutes until mushy (if there is extra liquid just continue cooking for a few minutes with the lid off).
  4. Allow to cool slightly, then blend in the food processor with peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, harissa, and tomato paste. Taste for additional salt and pepper.
