I catch red bells on sale and roast my own.Remove skin and seeds. Roast garlic at same time and add to mix and puree. Freeze in 1/2 cup containers which is just enough to add to 1 pck cream cheese.

This dip had good flavor, however, I found it to be a little soupy. It worked good as a spread for the mini turkey focaccia sandwiches, but I can't see using it as a dip for veggies, etc. Next time I will try it with real cream cheese instead of the 1/3 less fat cream cheese.

AWESOME! They serve a dip like this at The Rusty Skupper Restaurant at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore Md, with ciabatta bread. I don't add the almonds and I'd try it before adding the basil. I like the true red pepper taste and even though I love basil, it changes the flavor of this dip. I serve it with ciabatta bread cut up or Utz Wheel Pretzels for just a snack for the family. This is a great dip that gets eaten up within minutes. It's so different and if you like red or green peppers, you'll LOVE this!
