   Omtrent 5 min

2. 2

   Place the red bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet.

3. 3

   Roast the red bell peppers for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until their skins are charred and blistered.

   Omtrent 25 min

   Kokkens tips: This step develops a smoky flavor and makes the skin easy to remove.

4. 4

   Transfer the hot peppers to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10-15 minutes.

   Omtrent 15 min

   Kokkens tips: Steaming helps loosen the skins for easier peeling.

   Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins from the red bell peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and discard them.

6. 6

   In a food processor, combine the roasted red bell peppers, walnuts, breadcrumbs, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

7. 7

   Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse paste.

   Omtrent 1 min

   Kokkens tips: Avoid over-processing; a slightly chunky texture is desirable for muhammara.

   With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until well incorporated and the dip is smooth but still has some texture.
