on Oct 06, 2015, Updated Oct 09, 2023 Ever since I had this Lebanese style red pepper dip or Muhammara on a recent holiday, I have been unable to get it out of my mind. The sweet, smokey flavors of roasted bell peppers combined with garlic, nuts and cumin stay with you, because they are so unexpected. Paired with some pita bread and salad, you have the makings of a wonderful light dinner or lunch. Also see my tutorial on How to make Hummus at home thats light and airy
Top tips to make the best red pepper dip
I have used pecan nuts instead of walnuts, and I really couldn’t tell the difference between the two. If you don’t have pecan nuts, I think roasted almonds would taste really nice as well. Roasting the nut you choose is a really important step to nail the flavors. However, nuts burn very quickly, so make sure to roast everything on low flame while stirring continuously until evenly golden brown.
This is one of those dips that you once you try, you simply cannot have enough of! Plus it’s so easy to make, that I often whip up a small batch every couple of weeks.
