Grill-Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Dip
This flavorful blend is also delicious for dipping grilled shrimp or for spreading on grilled fish or chicken. Grilling the garlic mellows its bite, making for addictive eating. Use the roasted garlic on its own as an easy spread for grilled bread, or to embellish flavored butter, grilled poultry or vegetables.
