INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 tsp whole cumin seeds
  • 8 oz roasted red peppers
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs

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.
