Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Roasted Red Pepper Dip by Hina Gujral

Fresh roasted pepper is what makes this dip special; so don't substitute it with the canned ones. Roasting peppers is an easy job, if you've never tried it yet then this is the perfect opportunity, once you taste them, you'll wonder why you waited for so long.
