ISO: Roasted Red Pepper Dip recipe?

[Jewel]

I'm trying to track down a recipe for Roasted Red Pepper dip using cream cheese. I have the CL Spicy Roasted Red Pepper and Bean Dip recipe that I will probably use, but I thought I remembered seeing one on this BB that combined cream cheese and roasted peppers with spices. Didn't find one when I searched the BB.

If I go with this CL recipe, has anyone tried it? I've just been asked to bring a lowfat spicy dip to a party tomorrow, and I've got a huge jar of roasted red peppers I figured I'd put to good use! I've never used tofu before and this recipe calls for it, so any input would be appreciated! Thanks! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Jewel...
The Spicy Roasted Red Pepper and Bean Dip is one of my all time favorite recipes! Everyone I have made it for loves it. I think it calls for parsley, though, and I use cilantro. 5 stars IMHO! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

I have made one before - but I don't have the recipe - I may be able to get it over the weekend - but that would be too late for you. If I can remember - it was jarred roasted red pepper & sour cream plus some minced garlic. Put it in a food processor until smooth. There was probably something else in there (maybe cream cheese) - maybe someone else will have had it? It's really good. Light, but with alot of flavor. Serve with veggies or chips.
I'm actually glad you reminded me of this.

You could probably experiment a little - blend up a cup or so of the red peppers & add sour cream, garlic, maybe a dash of hot sauce until it tastes good to you. Cream cheese may be in there too I just don't remember - how frustrating!

Hope my rambling helped a little!

Jewel,

Although this isn't exactly what you asked for I thought I'd post it anyway. It sounds good.

I'm with BlueMoose - this is a 5 star recipe for sure. My husband asks for it often, and even kids like this one. Hey, if you don't like it, I know two people you could send it to who'd be REAL happy to get it!!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif
