Capsicum and Bacon Spread or Dip Recipe
Very easy to make and super delicious. We use it as a spread on a slice of fresh sourdough bread and as a dip. It can be mixed with cooked mince or fish and used as a pasta sauce. Delicious!!
Ingredients
- red capsicum cut into small cubes (I took four large ones for the lot you see in the images below)
- a dash of olive oil
- grated cheese – Colby is good but can be any and as much as you like but not overdo!
- smoked bacon or pork belly cut into small cubes
- red or brown onion cut into small cubes – as many as capsicums ( I took four large red onions this time)
- garlic – at least one entire bulb for four large capsicums
- salt + pepper
- Braise the capsicum with a dash of olive oil until soft. Stir in between. Stir the cheese in and put aside.
- Braise bacon until golden, add onions and garlic and cook until golden. Stir in between
- Add the bacon mixture to the capsicum, add salt and pepper to taste, and blend with a stick mixer
- Place on a hot plate and bring to a boil while permanently stirring. You need the hot temperature for the jars to seal.
- Fill sterilised jars and close them immediately.
Tip: add some chili powder for an extra kick!
Enjoy!!
