I made this appetizer for a Valentine Dinner we attended Saturday night. It was a hit.
Muhammara
1 - 7 oz. jar roasted red peppers, drained
2/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted lightly (I used pecans)
2 - 4 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. pomegranate molasses*
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
*available at Middle Eastern markets
Blend together all ingredients well.
Make two days ahead for flavors to blend well.
Serve with toasted pita triangles, white corn chips, or "Scoops".
