Muhammara is a Middle Eastern roasted red pepper and walnut dip that originated in Syria. Nutty, zingy, spicy, and sweet, it's fantastic on pita, fresh veggies, and more. Use jarred roasted red peppers in this recipe, or roast the peppers yourself.

½ cup bread crumbs, fresh or store-bought
½ cup walnuts
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1½ tablespoons pomegranate molasses*
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper
Fresh mint, for garnish
Pita bread, for serving

Instructions

In a food processor, place the red peppers, breadcrumbs, walnuts, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, garlic, lemon juice, Aleppo pepper, cumin, and several grinds of pepper. Pulse until creamy and season to taste.
Garnish with fresh mint. Serve with pita bread or follow one of the serving suggestions in the blog post above.
