Great recipe! This spread is surely not for everyone's tastes, but it's so very healthy and creamy for those who like "pure" food. I've also added a new skill to my culinary repertoire...skinning roasted red peppers! We liked this both warm and after being refrigerated. The flavors melded a bit more the next day and is great on crackers and fresh veggies. MERP'd for My 3 Chefs '08.
