Muhammara Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Walnuts

   Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool.

2. 2

   Blend the Ingredients

   In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, toasted walnuts, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Process Until Smooth

   Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more olive oil or water to achieve your desired consistency.

4. 4

   Taste and Adjust

   Taste the muhammara and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices to your preference.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the muhammara to a serving bowl and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired. Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
