CHEF ILONA: MUHAMMARA

Muhammara is a rich, flavorful Middle Eastern dip or spread, originating from Aleppo, Syria. It's known for its deep red color and its vibrant blend of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors. The main ingredients include:

Roasted red peppers: Provide sweetness and a smoky depth.

Walnuts: Add crunch and richness.

Pomegranate molasses: A key ingredient that gives muhammara its tangy, slightly sweet flavor.

Breadcrumbs: For thickness and texture.

Garlic: For a sharp, savory bite.

Olive oil: Adds a silky, smooth finish.

Spices: Typically, cumin and sometimes Aleppo pepper, which adds heat and an earthy flavor.

Muhammara is commonly served as part of a mezze platter with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats and can also be used as a sauce or spread in sandwiches. The combination of nuttiness from the walnuts, the smokiness of the roasted peppers, and the tang from the pomegranate molasses makes it a unique and flavorful dish.

In recent years, muhammara has gained popularity internationally as part of the broader rise in the appreciation of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Its versatility as a dip, spread, or sauce, along with its bold, complex flavors, has made it a favorite among chefs and food enthusiasts around the world.

Muhammara’s history reflects the blending of cultural influences, trade routes, and local agriculture, making it a dish rich in both flavor and heritage.

Muhammara

Serves 6-8

4 red bell peppers, roasted and peeled -or- use jarred roasted red peppers

1 cup walnuts, toasted

2/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs or panko, toasted

2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes

Juice of 1 lemon

2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt -or- to taste

Few grinds black pepper

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Combine the peppers and walnuts in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add all the remaining ingredients except the olive oil and pulse until smooth.

With the processor running, add the olive oil slowly and blend until the oil is completely incorporated. Turn off the processor and scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as you go. If you find the dip is too thick, add some of the liquid from the roasted red pepper or a small splash of water until desired texture is achieved.

Serve the muhammara in a small bowl or as an anchor flavour for a canape or a dressed toast.

Garnish options: chopped parsley, mint, pomegranate arils, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, additional chopped walnuts, or cilantro.
