Muhammara

3 Red Capsicums (sliced into strips)

4 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 cup toasted walnut pieces

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon Sumac

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon chilli flakes (less if you don’t like heat)

1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika

2 Tablespoons Pomegranate Molasses

1/4 cup Parsley

I Sprayed the peppers with oil, and browned them (skin up) in the airfryer for 12 mins. (Pic below)

Could do the same in a frypan or oven. When the skins are bubbled and blackened; put them in a bowl covered with cling wrap for 10 mins. Then take the skin off them.

in a large bowl add the capsicum pieces, toasted walnuts, Smoked Paprika, garlic, parsley, chilli flakes, Sumac, salt and Olive oil.
Mix in food processor or use stick mixer. I like to mix until smooth.

Refrigerate and serve with Pita chips or vegetable sticks. Goes great with carrot or celery.

I also added a teaspoon of Nora Picada dried peppers ( this is not hot). Definitely optional, and next time I might try a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. The Sumac has a lemon tang, but more would be nice.
