Red Pepper Dip muhammara
"Muhammara, or Red Pepper Dip, is such a delicious dish it's hard to believe it's such a simple one to make! It is also full of flavor and nutrition too! The sweet and nutty flavor of the roasted red peppers and toasted walnuts is the perfect accompaniment to be served with toasted Pita bread or chips, and you can have as much or as little spice as you like depending on the type of pepper you use.
