Tips and tricks

Soak the walnuts overnight and drain them well: this makes the dip much smoother and removes any bitterness.

Roast the peppers at home and peel them carefully for a deeper, richer flavor.

It keeps for 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container; serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top.
