Dips and parties I always think go hand in hand. There aren’t many people I know who don’t enjoy digging into a party dip. It’s the one item on the party food table that is guaranteed to disappear first at our parties. The recipe in this blog is a delicious way to spice those dips up. If you have guests coming who love spicy then this is the dip for you. The video in now on my YouTube channel Googie’s Kitchen and the blog post is below too.

Spicy Roasted Aubergine, Red Pepper and Butter Bean dip was so yummy. As I mentioned earlier everyone at the party enjoyed it and it will be one I will make again. It’s a versatile dip as it makes a brilliant snack, it’s good as part of a buffet but it could also be used as part of a main meal too. Plus it can be made in advance as all the ingredients are freezable too.
