Though muhammara is traditionally made with a mortar and pestle, I like to use a food processor to simplify the process.

Just add all the ingredients, and pulse until smooth. Season to taste and enjoy! The simplest way to serve this muhammara is on its own as a dip. Scoop it up with warm pita bread , pita chips, crackers, or fresh veggies like cucumbers, carrots, or radishes.

Pair it with another tasty spread or two, fresh veggies and pita, and flavorful nibbles like olives, cheese, or roasted nuts. Set out the platter for guests to graze on at a gathering, or enjoy it as a casual, no-cook summer dinner. Notify me of follow-up comments via e-mail. This recipe is fantastic!

Thanks for such an easy recipe. This is a pushy recipe Dear Reader. I would call this capsicum dip a simplified version of a muhamarra dip , that delicious Leventine and Turkish roasted red pepper. While Muhamarra has a range of nuts and spices added to it, this is a much simpler version made with much less ingredients and yet is still so tasty and closer to a pesto.

In Australia, a few years ago these nutty dips started showing up at the supermarket and they were delicious. Like versions of pesto and muhamarra they were utterly moreish.

Making them at home is a cinch as long as you have a food processor or mortar and pestle. In a food processor or Thermomix they take 5 minutes to make tops! I made this dip using some home made roasted capsicum recipe here but you can make it using bought roasted capsicum too.

The roasting process makes the capsicum pepper sweeter and removes the skin too. Another serving suggestion for this dip is to serve it alongside some basil pesto in the same bowl for a half half dip or even try this triple layer dip recipe with hummus, basil pesto and a red dip!

I know that making your own dips appeals to some people while others it's so much easier to buy them but home made dips are a real money saver especially in today's economy.

I actually prefer the flavour of this to the bought ones too. My maths work here might even appeal to Mr NQN who is resolutely a non-cook.
