Our Thermomix Roasted Capsicum & Sun-Dried Tomato Dip is the perfect addition to any cheese platter. Serve with crackers, deli meats, cheese and vegetable sticks.
We go through a LOT of dip in our house and so instead of buying super expensive (and tiny!) ones from the supermarket, we make our own homemade dips in the Thermie! Not only is it a much cheaper option, it also makes much bigger batches!
This Thermomix Roasted Capsicum & Sun-Dried Tomato Dip is super easy to make. The only time consuming bit is roasting the capsicum in the oven (but I usually try and do this while I've got the oven on cooking dinner anyway). If you're pressed for time, you can of course use store-bought roasted capsicums.
Then it's simply a matter of popping all of the ingredients into the Thermomix, mixing them altogether, and then sitting down with a nice glass of wine, some crackers and cheese. Bliss!!
Lets get started...!
