Have you ever tried muhammara? It’s a spicy pepper dip which tastes savory, sweet, and smoky with a little spice.

Most recipes call for roasted peppers, this version that was passed down to me by mom has Red Chili Peppers instead.

If you don’t have a meat grinder or a meat grinder you can use a food processor. But the consistency might be a little bit different.

Muhammarah

Muhmmara is a hearty walnut and red pepper dip or spread that's all sorts of savory, sweet, slightly smoky, and just enough spicy!
