Categories     condiment

Time 27m

Yield about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 red bell peppers
1 1/2 cups raw walnuts, halves and pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses*
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Roast the red peppers. Place each bell pepper over the open flame of a gas burner or grill, cooking until the skin blackens and blisters. Rotate the peppers and blacken all the way around, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can roast the peppers in the oven by placing the bell peppers on a baking sheet and placing under the broiler, turning frequently, until the peppers are blackened and blistered all over. Put the blackened peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to steam.
  • Toast the walnuts. Spread the walnuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pop into the oven until light golden brown and aromatic, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Peel the red peppers using a paring knife. Discard the peels, stem and seeds. Throw the roasted red peppers, walnuts, garlic, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses and olive oil into a food processor with a teaspoon of salt, and run until the dip is smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Cool and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe red bell peppers: Look for peppers that are firm, smooth, and deeply colored. Avoid peppers with blemishes or wrinkles.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers until they are charred and blistered will help to develop their flavor and make them easier to peel.
  • Remove the skins from the peppers: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling off the skins. This will help to prevent the peppers from sticking to your hands.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor will make quick work of pureeing the peppers and other ingredients.
  • Season to taste: Taste the dip before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: Roasted red pepper dip is delicious served with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables.

Conclusion:
