Egyptian Pomegranate, Walnut, and Red Pepper Puree is the perfect snack for last minute company. Made from roasted red peppers, walnuts, and pomegranate molasses, everything you can need can be kept on-hand in your pantry!

I’m a total sucker for “pantry recipes.”

There’s just something about coming up with a recipe entirely from things you have on-hand that make you feel like you’re kicking ass and taking names on a competitive cooking show.

I can’t claim this recipe for my very own because I adapted it from a cookbook, but it’s still pretty damn satisfying to make something without having to make a trip to the grocery store.

This red pepper puree is tangy, creamy, and delicious with some simple pita triangles. I also love it spread onto a sandwich– it’s so much better than mayonnaise!

I also happen to be something of a Egyptophile (uh, is that a word?), so I’m always down for any recipes which claim to be of Egyptian origin.

The only “weird” ingredient for this recipe is going to be the pomegranate molasses. I wrote about this delicious stuff in this post where I shared my recipe for Fattoush Salad. Do yourself a favor and add this Mediterranean staple to your pantry!

Ingredients

• 1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
• 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 2/3 cup walnut pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Salt

Instructions

1. Add the drained red peppers, bread crumbs, walnuts, garlic, and pomegranate molasses into the bowl of a small food processor. Pulse a few times, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to pulse the machine.*
2. Once the mixture is smooth to your liking, taste and add salt as needed. Serve at room temperature with pita bread for dipping.

Notes

*Keep the lid on the processor while you are doing this - there should be a small reservoir on the lid with a small hole through which you can pour the oil.
