Muhammara (Roasted Red Pepper Dip) – Syria

Muhammara,

from Aleppo, is a vibrant and spicy dip that has also made its way to tables in Turkey and Armenia, aside from being in only Lebanon and Syria.

This tantalizing blend of roasted red bell peppers, crunchy walnuts, and breadcrumbs creates a pleasing texture to the palate. In addition, the inclusion of pomegranate molasses lends a subtly sweet and tangy note.

Muhammara’s versatility goes beyond being a mere dip savored with bread or a spread for toast. Its robust flavor complements grilled dishes remarkably well and is often served as a rich sauce for kebabs, fish, or grilled meats.
