Muhammara (Syrian Roasted Red Pepper Pomegranate Walnut Dip)

(prep time:  10 minutes, cook time: 0 minutes, serves: 8-10)

Ingredients

  • one 12 oz jar roasted red peppers in oil

  • 1 ½ Tbsp pomegranate molasses (or 1 Tbsp POM Pomegranate Juice & ½ Tbsp maple syrup)
  • ½ Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ Tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 clove garlic (or ½ tsp jarred minced garlic) use the garlic from the red pepper jar if it contains some!
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (we use the oil from the roasted red pepper jar. Oil can also be omitted if preferred)
  • Pita wedges, tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, etc. for serving. It’s also amazing as a sandwich spread.
