It’s a conventional purple pepper unfold originating from Syria made with a beguiling mix of purple peppers, walnuts, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and a handful of different components – relying on the cook dinner. I included a recipe for it years in the past in Tremendous Pure Cooking (2007), and make it when one thing jogs my memory of how a lot I like it. Which is precisely why you’re seeing it at this time. I used to be having dinner at Aziza, in San Francisco, and at all times order Mourad’s stunning spreads. Considered one of them jogs my memory of muhammara, though I feel he makes his with piquillo peppers and almonds, (or maybe no matter seems good in the intervening time). It’s an ideal unfold for late summer time, you should utilize purple peppers from the market and grill them. It’s best alongside grilled flatbread or toasted pita. Make this the following time you’re contemplating doing a hummus or labneh – or (even higher) go for an assortment.
