Muhammara is served as a condiment with grilled meats and chicken.
It is also great as a dip or a sandwich spread.
Place walnuts in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
Drain roasted red peppers, reserving liquid. Place in the processor
with remaining ingredients. Process until almost smooth, adding
reserved red pepper liquid and a little water if needed to obtain a dip
consistency.
Variation: For a mellower Muhammara, blend it into 8 oz of softened
cream cheese.
NOTE: The hot pepper paste is preferred in this recipe. However, the
concentrated paste, which is available in supermarkets, may be used.
