Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped, plus 2 teaspoons reserved oil, divided
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ⅔ cup reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Toasted sliced baguette, crackers and/or pita chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat Shallots: Heat the reserved tomato oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook, stirring constantly, until they start to soften, about 1 minute.
  3. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the dry white wine and cook, stirring often, until nearly evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. Combine Remaining Ingredients: Add the chopped roasted red peppers, sour cream, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, grated garlic, hot sauce, and 3 tablespoons of chopped parsley to the skillet.
  5. Melt and Heat: Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the cheeses melt smoothly and the dip is heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley on top and serve the warm dip with toasted sliced baguette, crackers, and/or pita chips.

Notes

  • For best results, use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, reserving the oil for sautéing the shallots to add extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a milder dip, reduce or omit the hot sauce.
  • You can substitute fresh garlic for grated garlic if desired, using one clove minced.
  • The dip is best served warm but can be prepared ahead and gently reheated on the stovetop before serving.
  • Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky undertone.
