Instructions
Preheat oven to 220°c
Slice the peppers in half and place them skin-side up on a baking tray. Cook on the top shelf for 10 minutes, add the whole cloves of garlic to the tray and cook for a further 15 minutes.
Set aside until they’re cool enough to handle, then peel the garlic cloves and add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and mix until smooth.
Add the juice of lemon if you wish to store your batch for longer than a few days, or simply serve if it’s going to be used straight away.
