This was a very tasty snack for us today. I liked the combination of flavors, although I took a real lazy way of preparing it. I didn't use roasted garlic, just some finely chopped and used the roasted red peppers in a jar which we really like. For personal preference I added some extra lemon juice to mine. thanks for sharing a wonderful dish.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
