Celebrity chef Shipra Khanna, recently travelled across Europe to shoot for her show, World on My Plate with Shipra Khanna, currently streaming on discovery+. While travelling, she discovered how simple yet versatile olive oil is as an ingredient.
Shipra has shared with us exclusively a simple, homemade recipe for Roasted Peppers, Olive and Cheese dip with crackers.
STEP 1: Roasting peppers
This is a simple roasted pepper platter with a creamy olive and cheese dip — inspired by what Shipra experienced during her travel Just roast them until the skin is nicely charred.
STEP 2: Peeling
Once they’re done, let them rest for a few minutes... and then gently peel off the skin. This is where all that smoky flavour will come in.
STEP 3: Prep
Slice the peppers, and cut them into strips.
STEP 4: Building the dip
Chop up some olives finely and add them to a bowl of soft cheese. You can choose your choice of cheese.
STEP 5: Final touch
Now drizzle a generous amount of good quality, extra virgin olive oil. Season it a little...maybe with some cracked pepper and herbs. Mix it lightly and bring it together gently.
Take a platter, add the cheese, some olives, strips of charred bell peppers and crackers.
