Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon water
Pinch of saffron threads
1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, rinsed
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Combine garlic, water and saffron in a small saucepan. Cover and cook over very low heat just until steaming, about 2 minutes.
