Directions

Step 1
In a food processor, combine roasted red peppers, toasted walnuts, breadcrumbs, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt.
Step 2
Pulse until a coarse, rustic texture is achieved. Do not over-process; some texture is desirable.
Step 3
With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil until fully incorporated and the dip is well combined.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasoning. If the dip is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or more olive oil.
Step 5
Transfer muhammara to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 6
Serve with warm pita bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
