A brilliant red-purple take on the Middle Eastern dip made with walnuts and peppers. We used red beets but Chioggia beets would also make a spectacular dip.

I'm not a huge fan of muhammara, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I liked the smokiness from the roasted red peppers and the sweetness from the beets. I'll definitely be making it again.

This muhammara was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less cayenne pepper.

I found this muhammara to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better if I had added more spices or herbs.

This muhammara was a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had roasted the red peppers myself instead of using store-bought roasted peppers.
