Recipe by Isabelle Boucher, found on crumb blog

When I went to Vienna, over 30 years ago, one of my favorite foods was Liptauer Cheese.  Sweet Paprika flavoring something like a cream cheese is just so yummy.  Since we always have an abundance of our Lunchbox Peppers I thought there must be a simple creamy cheesey something I could make, and voila, here it is!

1 clove Garlic, roughly chopped

1 lb Roasted Lunch Box Peppers, roughly chopped

1 package Cream Cheese

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

2 TB Lemon Juice

Using a food processor, pulse the garlic until finely minced.  Add the roasted red peppers, cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice, and process until smooth.  Spoon the dip into a pretty bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap.  Chill until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.  Serve the finished dip with wedges of warm pita bread or an assorted of colorful fresh vegetables for dipping.  The cucumbers and raw zucchini would be perfect choices!
