Fire Roasted Jalapeno Dip

Fire Roasted Jalapeno Dip is thick, creamy, and cheesy and has a subtle deliciousness of jalapeno. I am extremely fond of jalapenos. In consequence, I have posted many recipes with jalapenos. This one however is my favorite because I came up with something really different. I have never roasted jalapeno directly on the flame. It was a memorable experience for me. Just hold the jalapeno pepper carefully with a long tong and put it a little above the flame. Keep turning to all sides and smell the tempting aroma. I did no deseed the pepper. Feel free to deseed to reduce the strong spicy flavor of the dip.

In my next step, I blended this fire roasted jalapeno pepper with cashew nuts. These nuts needed to be softened a bit so I poured over some boiling water and let it stand for few minutes. Later, drained and combined with flavorful nutritional yeast and rest of the ingredients in a blender and blended it smooth.

Guess what? Fire Roasted Jalapeno Dip is the most wanted dip in my home. Recently while hosting parties this dip has been in demand so I always have some dip handy. I always have this dip handy in my refrigerator. This versatile Fire Roasted Jalapeno Dip can be used as a spread on sandwiches, or as a dressing on salads or just a dip for chips, crackers or veggies. We relish this dip frequently, so, if you really want to know what I am trying to say, you have to make this dip right now. It’s so easy and quick and has a long shelve life.

This dip requires only 5 ingredients (excluding water) and 12 minutes of your time. I am sure you must be having all the ingredients in your pantry right now.
