  I made this just to try it out and everyone loved it, now I can't remember how many times I have made it!

  I remember knocking up this dish a while back. Very easy and delicious! An absolute no-brainer dip - ideal with toasted pittas or breadsticks alike

  I used raw red pepper and added some crushed chillies - went down a treat

  Was really disappointed by this recipe. Found it incredibly bland, even when I added extra roasted pepper. Maybe some chilli would have perked it up??

  Something was missing and I'm not sure what it was. I agree it was a rather bland dip so i added some fresh chilli which definitely perked it up and then tried adding the feta as suggested in the recipe. Even threw in a couple of walnuts in the end. It was okay but not great.

  Really tasty - I added a teaspoon of lazy chilli & half of ground cumin. Will be also adding half a block of feta next time - very soon!!

  I made this with just one red pepper and added cumin as suggested by Donna D (thanks for the tip!). I found it really tasty and I'm going to have mine on my home made bread made with half spelt flour/half white. Yum!
