Pepita, Cherry Tomato & Sage Dip
I printed this recipe off the internet ages ago, but can’t quite remember where I found it. So my apologies if this belongs to anyone.
Pepita, Cherry Tomato & Sage Dip
500g cherry tomatoes
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 medium red chilli
1 clove of garlic
0.25 cup olive oil
3 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons fresh sage
2 cups (320g) pepitas, toasted
Combine the tomatoes, onion, chilli, garlic, olive oil, sugar and sage in a baking dish. Bake uncovered in 200 degree Celcius oven for about 30 minutes or until the onion is very soft. Cool for five minutes.
Place pepitas into a dry fry pan and lightly toast for a few minutes. Try to master the pan flipping technique to keep the pepitas dancing (lest you burn their bums). You don’t want them super-roasted, just golden.
Process pepitas in a food processor until finely crushed. Add tomato mixture and process until combined.
Serve with corn chips, pita crisps, tortilla wedges, toasty bread - whatever takes your fancy. But whatever you choose, make sure it’s crunchy!

Agree that it doesn’t look great but the ingredients sound amazing together, especially with the addition of the pepitas. Must try!

I would have liked to made it a look a little more appetising, especially as it is such a yummilicious dip. Unfortunately I was in a bit of a rush for a party (hence the plastic container), and had no time to make it look less vomit-like
But the toasted pepitas are just a lovely addition. I think the sage makes it.
