Mix in the herbs. You can either add the olive oil now or drizzle it on top or leave it out all together. As<br />

sprinkling of paprika or crushed black peppercorns makes an attractive garnish.<br />

Great as a dip or on sandwiches.<br />

Tofu and Sun-dried Tomato Dip<br />

125g/4oz tofu, drained<br />

4 sun-dried tomtoes<br />

1 spring onion, roughly chopped<br />

1 garlic clove, peeled<br />

salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

Cut the tofu into rough chunks and place in a food processor or blender with the tomatoes, spring onions<br />

and garlic. Whizz until you have a creamy puree.<br />

Taste the puree and add seasoning until it is how you like it. Whizz again and spoon into a bowl. Serve<br />

with crackers, raw vegetables etc.<br />

Sweet Red Pepper and Garlic Dip<br />

2 large sweet red peppers<br />

6 large garlic cloves, peeled<br />

150ml/5floz olive oil (not extra virgin)<br />

1-2 tbsp lemon juice<br />

salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

25-50g / 1-2oz fresh soft breadcrumbs (optional)<br />

Quarter the peppers, removing the stems and seeds, then put them into a saucepan with the garlic and<br />

enough water to just cover them. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes or until the pepper<br />

is very tender. Drain and leave until cold.<br />

Put the pepper and garlic into a food processor and puree. Then, while pureeing, gradually add the oil<br />

and lemon juice until you have a soft creamy mixture – it should resemble mayonnaise.<br />

Season, then chill before serving. The dip will thicken slightly as it stands, but you can thicken it a bit<br />

more by stirring in some breadcrumbs. Add these gradually as they take several minutes to swell and<br />

thicken the mixture, so leave it to stand for a little before adding more.<br />
