Forget about your go-to dip for the moment and let’s dive into this incredible mahamurra. A fantastic dip originated in Syria featuring roasted red peppers, walnuts, and pomegranate molasses that has a smoky, savory, sweet, tart, and slightly spicy flavor and is super easy to make. Just roast some red peppers, then let them cool down, then remove the skin. You can also use the store-bought roasted red peppers that are in a jar. Add red peppers to a food processor along with walnuts, pomegranate molasses, breadrumbs, red pepper flakes, cumin, fresh garlic cloves, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, or you can use fresh lime juice, and some salt. Blitz all the ingredients together, stopping while there’s still some texture remaining. Now, just add to your serving bowl. Look at that gorgeous color. Finish with chopped walnuts, fresh mint, and pomegranate molasses drizzle.
