2 lb red bell peppers

4 large garlic cloves, minced (about 1 1/2 tbsp)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice , or to taste

pita loaves, cut into wedges, as an accompaniment

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Transfer mixture to a heavy saucepan and simmer, stirring frequently, 15 to 20 minutes, or until thickened and reduced to about 2 cups.
Cool dip and chill, covered, at least 1 day and up to 1 week.
Serve dip with pita wedges.
