I roasted the red bell peppers, toasted the walnuts. Left out the mint (I had picked it but got too lazy to chop, and Kalamatas -I had them but didn't feel the dip needed it)

Why have I not tried this before????

Muhammara Dip ( I used this one but there are lots similar out there)

2 red bell peppers, roasted, sweated & and peeled

2 cloves garlic

1 cup toasted walnuts

1/4-1/2 cup breadcrumbs

dash cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 c extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbs pomegranate molasses

These I left out:

1/4 c fresh pomegranate seeds ( laziness)

2 Tbs chopped fresh mint (laziness)

1/4 c chopped Greek-style olives ( I felt it didn't need it)

Whiz peppers and nuts in a processor until small pieces. Add breadcrumbs, cayenne & salt, pulse until mixed in. Stir in olive oil and pomegranate molasses. Adjust seasonings and gently fold in pomegranate seeds, mint and olives. Serve with cut-up vegetable sticks or toasted pitas triangles. Yield - 2 cups. Serves 8 (?) Or just ME !

 
When I searched I saw yours posted some time ago, that's why I wondered....

I have been harboring this recipe for quite awhile, but had never made it. I like that yours uses the canned peppers for when I don't have red bells on hand.

 
I've never used the jarred type of peppers for this recipe. I especially like using

the fresh, roasting them myself. I think it is better tasting and healthier.
