Mama’s making pepper paste. This kitty is puttin’ the paws on the paving stones…zzzzzz
At the family reunion, mama’s stepgrandkid, Julian, a vegan, made a fantastic pepper paste to dip in with crackers or toss with pasta or simply spoon into one’s mouth! SO delicious.
3 red sweet peppers, roasted and peeled
1/4 cup olive oil (or enough to bind the sauce to a smooth paste)
1 scant cup walnuts (mama used cashews)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 spoons of tomato puree or sauce
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Pinch of chili flakes
1 teaspoon honey (orginal recipe calls for pomegrante molasses but mama didn’t have any)
1 teaspoon sumac (mama didn’t have that either but did have some leaves so used a couple)
Salt to taste
In the top of a food processor, put all the ingredients and pulse until smooth. This is such a good summer dip for so many reasons….
*****
T’s military parade is a sham and a shame. He says it’s for the armed forces but it is NOT, as we all have known for weeks.
Mama and papa are seriously worrying today about the protests all over the USA and Europe against this travesty parade for a tyranical felon/womanizing/very dangerous president who needs to be removed. We are hoping for no violence. We are hoping to restore our democracy, which is disappearing daily.
PROTEST IN PEACE
