i bought a jar of piquilllo peppers after seeing a recipe that looked really good. it was for goat's cheese stuffed piquillo peppers.
i made the recipe exactly as stated, and yes they were good, but...i don't know, just thought they were lacking something. maybe i stuffed my peppers too full with goat's cheese, but they were also hard to eat. knife and fork were needed and they sorta slid around the plate when i tried to cut into them. so, out came the food processor and a dip was born! i sliced up a few baby cucumbers and toasted some greek pita bread (pocket less). delicious. the taste reminded me of a smooth textured pimento cheese. which got my mind swirling. i think this spread would be fantastic on a burger with a few avocado slices, or maybe some pickled jalapenos and caramelized onions, even something as simple as fresh arugula. i can't wait until my next burger night (usually on fridays!) so i can experiment. check back, i will let you know how it goes.
