serves 4 as side dish, or serve as appetizer
Ingredients

• 20-25 small sweet peppers
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• Sea Salt to taste
• 5 ounces plain goat cheese crumbled or sliced
• 2 tablespoons skim milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice juice from one lemon
• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic minced

​

Preparation

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium/high heat. I used canola oil because it has a high smoke point.
• Add the peppers and stir to coat in the oil. Allow to cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until smoking and blistered to your liking. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
• While peppers are cooking, combine goat cheese, milk, lemon juice, lemon pepper, and garlic in a food processor or blender. It should be creamy. If too thick, add a bit more milk. If too thin add a bit more goat cheese.
• Serve peppers warm with goat cheese dip. Enjoy!
