Let’s dive in.
How to Make Muhammara Rich and Flavorful Dip
To make a rich and flavorful muhammara, start by roasting your red bell peppers. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast them for about 25 to 30 minutes. Turn them once or twice until they are charred and blistered. After roasting, cover them with a kitchen towel for about 10 minutes. This will help the skin come off easily.
Once the peppers cool, peel off the charred skin. Remove the stems and seeds, then chop them into smaller pieces. This step is key for a smooth dip. Next, grab your food processor. Add the roasted bell peppers, one cup of toasted walnuts, and two minced garlic cloves.
For flavor, add two tablespoons of pomegranate molasses, one tablespoon of tahini, and a teaspoon of ground cumin. Don’t forget the spices! Add half a teaspoon of smoked paprika and a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Season with salt to taste.
Now, blend these ingredients until smooth. While blending, slowly drizzle in two tablespoons of olive oil. This will make your dip creamy. Stop to taste and adjust the seasoning. You may want more salt or cayenne, depending on your preference.
After blending, transfer the muhammara to a bowl. Cover it and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to blend together nicely.
When you are ready to serve, garnish your dip with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. This adds a nice touch. Enjoy this rich and flavorful dip with pita bread or fresh veggies. For the complete recipe, check the Full Recipe section.
