Red Pepper Walnut Dip
Author Notes: This dip (a version of middle eastern muhammara), ideally made with smoked paprika for a deep, rich flavor, is even more addictive than hummus. Eat with pita or even as a spread alongside grilled chicken. - One Hungry Mama
Serves 4
- 1 large clove garlic
- 2/3 cups walnuts
- 1 12-oz jar roasted sweet red peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (can substitute 1 tsp regular paprika)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- salt & pepper
- Add garlic and walnuts to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
- Add peppers, paprika, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, and vinegar. Begin pureeing and slowly drizzle in olive oil. Puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. (I like the hummus-like consistency that this recipe yields, but you can adjust the with a little bit of water.)

I made a version of this with some fat free Greek yogurt last night. Very good!

Last week I was making dinner for a vegetarian. Because I had selected a cheese-filled pasta for our main course, I needed to find some lighter (well maybe not lighter but less cheese-oriented) hors d'oeuvres. I came across your recipe and I'm glad for it. It was delicious. A definite keeper. Thanks for sharing.
