Muhammara (Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Spread) image

Looking for a change from serving hummus as your appetizer? Muhammara is traditionally a hot pepper dip, orignating in Syria. This rich and delicious milder version uses roasted red peppers and goes wonderfully with pita bread, pita chips, raw veggies or spread on crusty toasted bread. It's nice to make this a day ahead to let the flavors blend and intensify overnight. Feel free to increase the amount of crushed red pepper to kick up the heat a bit!

This muhammara is the perfect make-ahead appetizer. I love that I can make it a day or two ahead of time and just keep it in the fridge until I'm ready to serve.

I'm not a big fan of roasted red peppers, but I really liked this muhammara. The walnuts and spices really balanced out the flavor of the peppers.

This muhammara was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try using less cayenne pepper next time.

This is the best muhammara I've ever had! The roasted red peppers give it such a rich and smoky flavor, and the walnuts add a nice nutty crunch. I love serving it with grilled chicken or fish.

I'm a huge fan of muhammara, and this recipe did not disappoint. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the spread was so smooth and creamy. I especially loved the addition of pomegranate molasses, which gave it a little bit of a sweet and tangy ki
