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 butt and taking names on a competitive cooking show.

I adapted this recipe from a cookbook (Amazon link here). It’s satisfying to make something without having to make a trip to the grocery store.

This Muhammara or Roasted Red Pepper, Walnut, and Pomegranate Molasses Spread 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

• 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.
