We know, We know, it’s getting a little awkward so let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
We’ve got a thing for roasted red peppers in a major way and this Red Pepper Sambal Muhammara Dip recipe is why. We’re not sure why but muhammara has taken backseat to hummus in terms of Middle Eastern dips and we think it’s high time we change that.
This is red peppers, pomegranate molasses, walnuts, and more for a sophisticated dip that takes minutes to make. We like a good deal of spice, so we added sambal paste to mine for a little heat, a little sweet…all in all, it’s pretty perfect.
