Here is one of the Syrian recipes that I fell in love with and I had to share its deliciousness with the world! If you try it, please let me know how you find it too! I love to hear your comments and suggestions! It makes my days! Now enough about me and let’s talk about this recipe: Ingredients 1/2 cup raw walnuts 1/4 cup bread crumps 3/4 cup mild pepper paste (this is a shortcut ingredient and it can be substituted by a jar of roasted red bell peppers or two large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled) 1/4 cup extra version olive oil 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (1/2 a lemon) 1 clove of garlic (minced) 2-3 tbsp tahini paste 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp paprika (not smoked paprika) A dash of salt (or salt to taste) For garnishing: Fresh mint leaves Walnuts (my husband added the walnuts 😂) A drizzle of extra version olive oil Important Notes: 🌶 The mild pepper paste shortcut ingredient can be substituted by two large roasted red bell peppers (there are also ready-made jars of those). 🌶 If you use the shortcut ingredient mild pepper paste, those jars already have salt, so add it to taste. I only added a dash of it. 🌶 You can make it spicier by adding some cayenne and, if you have available, Aleppo red pepper flakes. 🌶 You can eat this as a spread with barbecued red and chicken meat. Also, it can be used as a vegan dip, or it can even be eaten straight on pita bread! 🌶 You can find the mild pepper paste, the tahini paste and the pomegranate molasses in any middle eastern or arabic grocery stores!
