Muhammara

  4.4 – 7 reviews  • Appetizer
Duff Goldman makes this bold roasted pepper dip for his bandmate Jeff. They traveled together to Algeria, which is where they tried muhammara for the first time. The flavors are salty, sweet, spicy and smoky—and best of all, it takes no time to make in the food processor.

Outrageously flavorful and delicious and even better the next day! I also served it for breakfast topped with steamed Red Russian Kale and a poached egg.

I love the recipe, Carolyn East Africa

Easy & so good. I would skip the cayenne if you are using chipotle chili powder. You can also substitute the lemon juice with a vinegar (I used balsamic & lemon balm leaf). Thanks Duff!
William Warren
This was delicious–any chance of getting the recipe for those crackers (that you demonstrated on Access Daily last week)??? Pretty please?
