Roasted Garlicky Bell Pepper Spread on Rye Toast
Time for toast anyone? Though we don't eat bread very often, once in a while it can taste so good. Especially when it's with a homemade spread. I must say this bell pepper spread came out so good. Definitely making this again. Perfect start of a busy day.
Sometimes you need that bit more to get you started but no worries I'll have a green smoothie later as a mid-morning snack. I'm not giving up on my favorite daily drink hehe. Anyways, have a great evening or day! It's gonna be a hot one on our side of the world. I can feel it already.

Roasted garlic has a special place in my heart. Great idea to roast and puree. I bet this was delicious with a capital D. :)

Hey Amy, nice to meet you! Having a homemade spread on a nice artisan bread is yummalicious to say the least. We make quite a few spreads, that usually get eaten by my wife before they even hit a piece of bread or a vegetable :) . We also use, Eggplant slices, zucchini slices, pollenta (which is Italian but can be bought in the American supermarkets everywhere) and even oven baked yams, sweet potatoes etc. So we do try yo stay away from breads, but that said, Silvia my wife is right this moment in time going through a lot of bread recipes :) Thanks for sharing! I'm giving it my vote of approval! Have a great weekend.
Thanks, @govegan! Ohh forgot about polenta. We ate it regularly when we lived in Europe. Not sure if they sell it in the supermarket in Cambodia, though! Will look for it! We try to avoid bread as much as possible too since my husband has MS (which he manages with food, no meds). Thanks for the wonderful tips and looking forward to seeing more of your cooking and tips and tricks to live a vegan lifestyle.
Good idea with toasted bread especially with garlic and some vegetables. It seems tasty and amazing recipe.
Garlic is one of my fav flavor makers, next to ginger and turmeric. So yum! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
Looks Yummy! Thanks for sharing :)
