Roast Nut Dip with Vegetable Sticks 
(Makes 1½ cups)
Ingredients
1½ cups Alison’s Pantry Roast Salted Nuts
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch chilli powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp boiling water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Carrot and celery sticks
Cherry tomatoes
Method
- Chop nuts in a small food processor. Add garlic, lemon juice, chilli, paprika and oil and process to combine.
- Add water and process to form a smooth, creamy paste (the water really helps the mixture amalgamate). Adjust seasoning to taste, (be careful with the salt as the nuts are already salted).
- Serve dollops of dip in the base of small glasses. Add vegetable sticks and cherry tomatoes.
Serve as nibbles as part of a tapas-style party.
