Ingredients
- 400 g jarred roasted red peppers, drained
- 150 g walnuts, toasted
- 50 g breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 2 tsp Aleppo chilli flakes
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 garlic cloves
- juice of half a lemon
- 4 tbsp olive oil
Method
Dry the peppers
Pat the peppers thoroughly dry. Jarred peppers carry a lot of brine and it makes the dip loose and sharp.
Blitz coarsely
Pulse everything except the oil to a rough paste. Stop while it still has texture — muhammara should be nubbly, not smooth.
Emulsify
With the motor running, trickle in the oil until it comes together and turns glossy.
Rest
Season, then leave for an hour before serving. The breadcrumbs swell and the flavours settle.
