"Hi. This is Rich Buccola here in New York City and today on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make an artichoke and roasted pepper dip. Alright, we have our artichoke in the bowl, nicely chopped. We're going to start chopping these beautiful red peppers. I'm just going to drain them by putting them on a piece of paper towel. I didn't clean off my artichokes, because you don't have to. They're all going to mix together. Maybe get some of that off the board. So I'm just going to slice one way like so with these beautiful peppers. Don't cut yourself. And then just turn it. Like so. Start slicing this way. We're going to get these chopped the same way we chop everything. First we give them our first cut. And you don't have to, I mean some guys are so good they can sit there and chop it one time and be done. I just find it easier to push it all in. Use the back of the blade. Go up and down and just chop everything nice. Push it in, push it in and get this really finely chopped. So we're going to do about seven ounces. I got an eight ounce can so I just threw in the extra ounce. Get all of your peppers chopped real fine, the same way we did our artichokes. Well get them in the bowl and start doing our onion and our garlic."
