Muhammara is a Syrian dip that is made using roasted red peppers and walnuts. When combined with pomegranate molasses and a few spices, they form a dip that is full of Sweet, Sour and Umami flavors. It's a perfect dish for snacking on, or serving as part of a Mezze spread.

Directions:
1- Place a pan over a medium heat, and add your walnuts to the pan
2- Allow them to heat in the pan while stirring them for 5 minutes until a toasted aroma emerges. Remove from the pan immediately and allow to cool
3- Add your breadcrumbs to the pan and toast them for 5 minutes until they go a golden brown colour, remove from the pan and allow to cool
4- Wash your peppers and trim off their stalks, then line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top
5- Place the peppers on the rack leaving some room around them, then slice an onion in half and add to the rack
6- Place the baking sheet under your broiler for about 8 minutes, until the top surface of your peppers is burnt. Rotate the peppers until all sides have been charred. You can also do this directly on the flame of a grill or stove
7- When your peppers have softened completely and are charred all over remove and place in a large bowl. Cover it immediately with plastic wrap and allow it to sit for 15 minutes
8- After 15 minutes, remove your peppers from the bowl and remove their skin, the open them and remove the core and any seeds
9- Once the peppers have cooled you can add them and the remaining ingredients to a food processor or blender
10- Blitz all the ingredients together until the dip forms. This will take about 2 minutes. You can leave it running for as long as you want to get a smoother consistency.
11- Plate in a bowl, then use a spoon to form a well in the center. Drizzle on some olive oil or pomegranate molasses, and add some Aleppo Pepper or Chopped walnuts for garnish
12- Serve and Enjoy
