Spicy Roasted Pepper Dip

4 red bell peppers, halved and seeded
3 slices white bread, crusts removed
1/4 C. milk
1/4 C. pitted green olives
2 Tbsp. capers
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tea. cayenne pepper, or more to taste
Salt, to taste

Lay the pepper halves skin side up on a lightly prepared cookie sheet. Place about 3 in. under a preheated broiler and broil until the skin blisters and turns black. Place the peppers in a plastic bag and close it. Allow to cool and peel off the skin.

Tear the bread into sm. pieces and soak in the milk for 5 min.

Combine the peppers, bread, olives, capers, and garlic in an electric food processor and process about 4 seconds, until the dip is well mixed but still chunky. Add the remaining ingredients and process until fairly smooth.

Serve with raw vegetables, crackers or toasted pita bread.
