What is muhammara? The walnut and pepper dip explained

Muhammara is a Levantine dip of roasted red pepper, walnut, and pomegranate molasses, sweet, smoky, gently spicy. We serve it as a cold starter with pitta.

What it tastes like

Deeper than hummus, with crunch from walnuts. Brilliant next to grills and raw veg.

Order it in a cold starter set of three to compare with hummus and mutabal.
