AKA roasted red pepper and walnut dip!!
If you’re new to Muhammara, it’s a pureed roasted red pepper and walnut spread/dip commonly made in the middle east. It’s completely addicting…especially when served with a side of homemade naan or pita chips.
Along with roasted red peppers, this muhammara recipe also includes sun-dried tomatoes, which adds a slight sweetness to the spread. Top it off with a little olive oil, toasted cumin seeds, and flaky sea salt…SO GOOD.
This recipe makes a lot. Therefore, I’ll often make it on a Sunday and snack on it throughout the week. This spread is also great for livening up a meal, simply serve it alongside a roasted chicken, sandwiches, or even a salad with some naan.
Obviously, it’s also awesome as an easy and healthy appetizer. Perfect for the warmer months of the year when you’re wanting to serve a lighter spread, or a spread that can sit at room temperature for a while.
