Have you ever tried muhammara? It’s a spicy pepper dip that originated from Aleppo, Syria, with one of the key ingredients being Aleppo chili flakes! Think of this dip as a mix of savory, sweet, and smoky with a little spice. Let’s do this! This recipe is easy, requiring just 10 ingredients (I include substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients below) and simple methods. And it all starts with roasted red bell peppers for a smoky, sweet base. Next comes lemon for acidity, walnuts for bite, cumin for smokiness, Aleppo chili flakes for heat, pomegranate molasses for sweetness and depth of flavor, bread crumbs for texture, olive oil for body, and salt for overall flavor. Friends, the result is dreamy. Ready your pita – we’re going in. I hope you all LOVE this dip!
