Alkaline Recipe #153: Red Pepper, Walnut and Almond Omega Spread
Red Pepper, Walnut and Almond Omega Spread
This spread is absolutely brilliant for delivering a huge hit of omega 3, without you having to down a spoon of Udo’s or Flax oil!
It’s delicious, nutty and easy to make and is really versatile to use on a variety of dishes as a dip, spread, topping or to go with any number of steamed veggies to add some flavour punch!
While walnuts are not the most alkaline of nuts, the quantity in this recipe is not concerning, and they still deliver a LOT of omega 3 even at just a quarter of a cup.
Note – the prep for this recipe starts the night before by soaking your almonds.
Alkaline Recipe: Red Pepper Omega Spread
Ingredients
1 Red Bell Pepper/Capsicum
1/4 Cup of Walnuts
1/4 Cup of Almonds
50g Ground Flaxseeds/meal
1/2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1/2 Tbsp of Flax Oil
1/2 Tsp of Ground Cumin
Himalayan Salt & Coarse Black Pepper
Instructions
Start by grilling your red pepper until it is blackened so you can peel away the skin. Next, if you have regular flax you need to grind it in a pestle and mortar or in a coffee bean grinder.
Now add the pepper, drained almonds, walnuts, flax, oils and cumin to a blender and pulse it until smooth. If more moisture is needed add a little extra olive oil or flax oil.
Season to taste and enjoy!
