Roasted Red Pepper Dip - Great for Superbowl Sunday

Easy Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Makes about 1 1/2 cups
 
Jar of roasted red peppers (you can roast them yourself, but this is a great shortcut)
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 cup reduced fat sour cream (or regular, if you prefer)
1 Tbsp finely chopped basil
Salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)

In a pan, cook the garlic in the oil over moderate heat until fragrant (watch it so you can make sure not brown or burn gthe garlic).

Add the peppers and vinegar and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until dry, it will take a few minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Stir in the sour cream and basil and season with salt and peppter. Refrigerate until chilled.

Serve with long breadsticks and thick cut potato chips (I like Cape Cod or Lays reduced fat Kettle Chips)
