Only a small percentage of Arabs outside of Aleppo however would be able to identify the ingredients in muhammara--those who know of it would generally just name walnuts and red pepper as the main components. I am impressed that you know it contains pomegranate syrup as one of its vital flavors. It goes particularly well eaten alongside hummous, but is also delicious eaten with meat or fish.<BR/><BR/>Should you wish to make your own, here are the ingredients:<BR/>-- a 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained<BR/>--2/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs<BR/>--1/3 cup walnuts, toasted lightly and chopped fine<BR/>--2 to 4 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt<BR/>--1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice<BR/>--2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses<BR/>--1 teaspoon ground cumin<BR/>--1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes<BR/>--3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil<BR/><BR/>In a food processor blend together the peppers, the bread crumbs, the walnuts, the garlic, the lemon juice, the pomegranate molasses, the cumin, the red pepper flakes, and salt to taste until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the oil gradually. Transfer the muhammara to a bowl and serve it at room temperature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1546463733405902991.post-42198626591231235042008-09-23T08:45:00.000-07:002008-09-23T08:45:00.000-07:00Here's my pomegranate recipe:1.

Free pomegranate seeds!"<BR/><BR/>3. Wait five minutes.<BR/><BR/>4. Rinse the empty bowl and repeat.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to try the apple thing. I bet they wouldn't eat them so fast if they were mixed up with something else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
