How to Make Muhammara Spicy Walnut Red Pepper Dip

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and cook until softened and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1-2 red bell peppers (roasted and peeled, about 1 cup), 1 cup walnuts (toasted), 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste), and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the flavors have melded.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Serve with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. Enjoy!
