No mezé, or hors-d'oeuvre, platter is complete without a dip, and this simple one is intensely flavourful. Serve with pitas, flatbreads or crisp vegetables.

Wow! This was absolutely amazing. I threw a wine tasting party and this was the most raved about (by far) dish at the party. I added some salt and freshly ground black pepper and garnished it with cucumber slices and chopped kalamata olives. Fantastic!

Another option: I placed the peppers in the oven, in a pan lined with foil and broiled under the heat source, turning occasionally for 10 minutes until charred and blistered. I removed the pan, and wrapped the foil around the peppers to steam at room temp. for about 15 minutes or until cooled. I changed the wine vinegar to balsamic and added a pinch of cumin. Yummy ( kept well, for 5 days before the event)

This is delicious! I happened to have pickled peppers from the mediterranean grocery store so I used those and I cut the vinegar by a bit.
