How to Make Muhammara Tasty and Smooth Dip
To make a smooth and tasty Muhammara dip, start with the red peppers. Roasting them brings out their sweet flavor. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place two large red bell peppers on a lined baking sheet. Roast them for 20-25 minutes. Turn them occasionally until the skin is blistered and charred. Once roasted, let them cool before peeling. Remove the skin and seeds gently.
Next, we toast the walnuts. This step adds a lovely crunch. In a dry skillet, toast one cup of walnuts over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Stir often to prevent burning. You want them fragrant and slightly darker in color.
Now, it’s time to blend everything. In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, toasted walnuts, and half a cup of breadcrumbs. Add three tablespoons of olive oil, two tablespoons of pomegranate molasses, and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss in one to two minced garlic cloves, one teaspoon of cumin, and half a teaspoon of smoked paprika. Blend this mix until it is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste the dip for seasoning. Add salt and pepper as you like. If you want extra heat, mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper. To let the flavors mix well, transfer the dip to a bowl, cover it, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Before serving, stir the dip again. Drizzle some olive oil on top for a nice finish. You can garnish it with fresh parsley if you want. This recipe is a great way to enjoy a delightful snack.Enjoy your homemade Muhammara!
