Muhammara

Ingredients:

3 red bell peppers

1 medium yellow onion, diced

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

3/4 cup walnuts, crushed

1 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, or 1 fresh Fresno chile, chopped

1/4 teaspoon cumin

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place whole red peppers on greased baking sheet. Roast for about 10-12 minutes, turning about every 4 minutes.

In the meantime, place breadcrumbs in food processor and add 2 tablespoons of cold water. Blend to make a puree. Add more water as needed.

Remove peppers from oven and peel off skin. Cut open and remove seeds. Cut into pieces and add to breadcrumbs mixture in food processor.

In a small saute pan, saute onions until lightly browned. Add sauteed onions and olive oil to food processor and blend to for a dip consistency.

Add remaining ingredients and blend, adding olive oil as needed.

Remove from processor and place in serving bowl. Serve with pita wedges, veggies, or even as a dipping sauce for kebabs.
