DIRECTIONS:
Muhammara is a roasted red pepper and walnut dip that originated in the Middle East. It is a savory, rich condiment that can be used as a dip, spread, or sauce for chicken and seafood.
In a dry frying pan over medium heat, toast cumin seeds until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer cumin to a bowl to prevent burning.
In a food processor or blender, add all ingredients and blend until mixture forms a smooth paste. If mixture won’t puree, add water or olive oil by the tablespoon until mixture becomes smooth.
