Muhammara (Roasted Red Pepper Dip)

Watched this video, and decided I had to try. My food processor is small so I can’t make that much.

Ingredients:

  • 1 jar (480g) roasted red peppers: I used all pieces but one as I wasn’t sure if my mini processor was enough
  • 120g walnuts
  • 6 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp pure pomegranate molasses (I found it in a Turskish supermarket, but not sure if it is 100% pure pomegrenate)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin (I didnt have it)

Process:

  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Toast the walnuts, stirring from time to time.
  • Add the breadcrumbs to the walnuts, don’t burn them! Stir until brown.
  • let it cool down for a couple of minutes.
  • In the food processor, add the garlic, walnuts and breadcrumbs. Blend until getting fine crumbs.
  • Add the roasted peppers (drained!), olive oil, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, all spices and salt.
  • Pulse! don’t blend! Do several times until to get a consistency like the video.

Ready to eat. You can top it up with walnuts, pomegranate seeds, olive oil, mint, etc.

Very easy, quick and tasty!
