Roasted Red Pepper Dip-This is off the hook


I'm making this for the garden party if I get it together.

Muhammara

4 Roasted red peppers
2/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted lightly and chopped fine
2 to 4 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses*
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

In a food processor blend together the peppers, the bread crumbs, the walnuts, the garlic, the lemon
juice, the pomegranate molasses, the cumin, the red pepper flakes, and salt to taste until the mixture is
smooth and with the motor running add the oil gradually. Transfer the muhammara to a bowl and serve
it at room temperature with the pita triangles.

Top this with Sumac-Ground lemon peel, dried currants salt and pepper


Toasted pita triangles as an accompaniment

Ta-da...
