Muhammara is a rich walnut and red pepper spread that originated in Syria but is now enjoyed across the Middle East. This is our riff on traditional recipes and it's terrific as an appetizer, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil, crumbled feta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs. Serve it with crackers, pita, or cut fresh vegetables. Muhammara is also good as a sandwich spread or as a sauce for roasted vegetables.

Directions

Pat the peppers with a paper towel to dry them further.
Put the walnuts, spices, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Pulse until the nuts are the texture of very coarse sand. Add the scallions and garlic; pulse 3–4 times more.
Add the peppers, bread crumbs, oil, lemon zest and juice, and pomegranate molasses. Process until the mixture is a loose paste, but not completely smooth. Taste, adding a bit more salt or lemon juice if needed.

Recipe Note

Note: Home roasted red bell peppers are ideal, but good-quality Spanish or Greek roasted red peppers work well — they are widely available at grocery stores.

This bold and smoky Muhammara with Rose Harissa is a delicious Middle Eastern dip made with roasted red peppers, toasted walnuts, and pomegranate molasses. Our version gets a flavorful upgrade from Curio’s Rose Harissa, adding floral heat to this creamy, nutty spread. Ready in just 10 minutes, it’s ideal as a dip for pita or vegetables, a sandwich spread, or a sauce for grilled meats and veggies. Serve it garnished with olive oil, feta, or fresh herbs for a stunning appetizer.

I took a batch of this to a party, and I’m not sure I’ve ever gotten so many requests for a recipe before! Delicious, easy, and crowd-pleasing: the perfect combination. One brave innovator even put this on homemade mac ‘n cheese. I’ll be making this again and again.
