So I was playing around with the food processor...

[Martin]

I didn't have prepared food and I didn't feel like making any, so I threw in 750ml of cottage cheese, about 3 or 4 roasted red peppers, 2 roasted habaneros, 40 black olives and some salt and paprika. Turned out to be one hell of a dip, especially when pared with the fresh naan bread I had.

Highly recommended!

sounds awesome! We just made some pesto from our own basil and herbs. Love me the food processor.

No garlic?

I want to make pesto. Would it be possible to make without a food processor or blender?

Mortar and pestle. It's a semi-emulsion so you can very finely chop everything and then do the emulsion from there. FINELY chop as in the size of a BB or smaller. Press the garlic or run it over a grater.

Martin, you know the drill. Where's the pics?

Here's a quick pic: http://mld.dreamhosters.com/dip.jpg

I also forgot that I added a cube of feta cheese at the end, to add some tang and solidity. As an added bonus, it probably has around 1 calorie/gram, so it's about 2.5x less caloric than stuff like ranch dips.

Is it dual core?

Looks pretty good and pretty healthy at the same time. Where'd you get the roasted peppers?

Sounds good. I might try a variation of this with naga jolokias, olive oil, and garbanzos. Also have some fresh garlic, but have to wait on the nagas to grow.

I'm gonna have to add a *confirmed* to this - it is quite good. I gave some to my friend and she could not stop moaning while eating it, heh.

I roasted the peppers myself - I put them directly on the burner, then rotate them once their skin turns black. Afterwards I put then in a container and pour some oil so they keep. I like them more than the store-brought ones preserved in water.

hopefully its at least a dual core extreme. but he should have a quad core at minimum to properly process all that shit.

:thumbsup: I'd like to try that myself.
