- walnuts50 g
- garlic clove1
- olive oil2 tbsp
- lemon juice1 tbsp
- salt1/2 tsp
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to broil and place the whole peppers on a baking sheet. Let them blacken slightly, then cover them with a clean cloth for 10 minutes: this will make peeling easier.
- 2
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes, until they smell nutty. Let them cool.
- 3
Peel the peppers, remove the seeds and inner membranes. Place the flesh in a blender.
- 4
Add the Greek yogurt, toasted walnuts, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse, without making it perfectly smooth: a slightly grainy texture is ideal.
- 5
Adjust the seasoning, then pour the sauce into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Serve cold, alongside flatbreads, raw vegetables, or grilled meats. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with some chopped walnuts before serving.
