Ingredients
1 medium red capsicum
1 clove garlic
1 cup light cottage cheese
100g reduced fat feta cheese
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp lime juice
Ground pepper to taste
Method
1: Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees (fan forced). Line an oven tray with baking paper. Wash and dry the red capsicum, and place on the tray with the clove of garlic. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until soft.
2: Put aside until cool, and then peel off capsicum skin, chop into quarters, and scoop out the seeds. Peel skin off the clove of garlic.
3: Place both capsicum flesh and garlic in a food processor with the remaining ingredients. Blend until a smooth consistency.
4: Season with ground pepper to taste. Refrigerate until cool.
5: Serve with your selection of fresh vegetable sticks such as carrots, cucumber, celery, green or orange capsicum, broccoli or cauliflower florets.
