Muhammara is similar to hummus, only it uses red peppers instead of chickpeas. Very simple to make and very quick to make.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup panko (japanese bread crumbs)
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 t fresh lemon juice
• 1 t ground cumin
• 1/4 t cayenne pepper
• salt
• pita chip

1. Blend all the ingredients except the pita chips in a food processor until a coarse puree forms.

2. Season with salt.

3. Put in a bowl and serve with the pita chips

Tips & Warnings

• the recipe i found calls for pomegranate molasses (or lemon juice if you can't find it or don't want to buy it), which i have yet to come across in any supermarket. if you have it, by all means use it and tell me how it tastes.

on 10/16/2008 I made something similar a while back, with roasted red peppers, but this sounds a lot more flavorful than mine! May have to give this a whirl....especially during the holidays, what with the festive red thing :)
