Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Categories     condiment

Time 27m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 red bell peppers
1 1/2 cups raw walnuts, halves and pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses*
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Roast the red peppers. Place each bell pepper over the open flame of a gas burner or grill, cooking until the skin blackens and blisters. Rotate the peppers and blacken all the way around, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can roast the peppers in the oven by placing the bell peppers on a baking sheet and placing under the broiler, turning frequently, until the peppers are blackened and blistered all over. Put the blackened peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to steam.
  • Toast the walnuts. Spread the walnuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pop into the oven until light golden brown and aromatic, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Peel the red peppers using a paring knife. Discard the peels, stem and seeds. Throw the roasted red peppers, walnuts, garlic, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses and olive oil into a food processor with a teaspoon of salt, and run until the dip is smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Cool and serve.

Yield Makes about 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 red bell peppers
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups crumbled feta cheese

Tips:

  • If you're using jarred peppers, drain them well before using. This will help prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
  • To make the dip creamier, add a little bit of cream cheese or sour cream. You can also add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • Season the dip to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or oregano.
  • Serve the dip with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
