Muhammara ~ A Walnut, Bell Pepper Dip Recipe

Here is a variation of a favorite dip/spread/sauce of ours that we've been enjoying for a couple years now.  Muhammara is a wonderful dip for veggies, sauce for meat, pizzas, and sandwiches, and spread for toasts.  I'm surprised it hasn't caught on as much as hummus has; it's soverytasty and easy to make (not to mention incredibly nourishing).

Muhammara

• 16 oz jar of roasted red bell peppers 
• 1 1/2 cups crispy walnuts
• 8 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1 pinch paprika
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1 pinch Celtic sea salt
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar (optional)

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth (little lumps are fine).  Allowing it to chill for a couple hours helps bring the flavors out.
