MUHAMMARA (RED PEPPER AND WALNUT SPREAD)



Muhammara (Red Pepper and Walnut Spread) image

Freeze vegetables at the height of the season, when they are at their Technicolor best, and you'll be rich with cooking options for months to come. For example, this muhammara, the Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut spread, can be made with either fresh red bell peppers or ones that you have chopped and frozen. The version made with frozen peppers is a little looser and lighter in color than the version starting with fresh peppers, but otherwise you sacrifice nothing having started with frozen produce - the two final spreads are similar in taste.

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 5m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large fresh red bell pepper, roasted (see note), or 1 chopped frozen red bell pepper, thawed
1/2 cup chopped scallions (3 to 4 scallions)
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
3 teaspoons pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (preferably Marash or Aleppo), more to taste
5 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted
4 to 6 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Combine pepper, scallions, lemon juice, cumin, salt, 2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, 4 tablespoons olive oil and all but 2 of the walnuts in a food processor and purée until mostly smooth.
  • Add 4 tablespoons bread crumbs and pulse to combine. If mixture is still too loose to hold its shape, add remaining bread crumbs and pulse again. Season to taste with salt and red pepper flakes.
  • Scrape spread into a bowl and make a well in the center with the back of a spoon. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes in the well. Crush the reserved walnuts between your fingers and sprinkle over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor, use ripe, red bell peppers. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers until they are charred and blistered will help to develop their flavor. You can roast the peppers in the oven, on a grill, or over a campfire.
  • Remove the pepper skins: Once the peppers are roasted, it's important to remove the skins. This can be done by peeling the skins off with your fingers or by using a sharp knife.
  • Use a food processor or blender: To make the roasted red pepper spread, simply blend the roasted peppers with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Season to taste: Once the spread is blended, taste it and adjust the seasonings as desired. You may want to add more garlic, salt, or pepper.
  • Serve immediately or store: Roasted red pepper spread can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Roasted red pepper spread is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for spreading on sandwiches, wraps, and crackers. It can also be used as a dip for vegetables or as a marinade for chicken or fish. With its smoky, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor, roasted red pepper spread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
