Roasted Beet Muhammara

Scott Phillips

Servings:Makes about 1-1/2 cups

The traditional way to make muhammara, a classic Syrian spread, is with roasted peppers, but this delicious version swaps in earthy beets. Its vibrant color, matched by its deep flavor, will get everyone at your next party talking. Serve with pitas or crackers as an exciting alternative to hummus.

Ingredients

  • 9 oz. trimmed and washed red beets (3 to 4 medium)
  • 1/4杯+ 1 Tbs。特级初榨橄榄油
  • 3/4 cup (2-1/2 oz.) walnuts, lightly toasted
  • 4 medium scallions, sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1-1/2 Tbs. pomegranate molasses
  • 1-1/2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice; more to taste
  • 1 tsp. Aleppo pepper or a scant 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes; more to taste
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • Kosher salt

Add the remaining 1/4 cup oil, the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, pepper, cumin, and 1/2 tsp. salt; process into a purée. Season to taste with more salt, lemon juice, and pepper.

    Delicious. Years ago in Boston I used to buy Mouhammara but I have not found it since; this dish brought me right back! I found the pomegranate molasses at a high end healthy market; I would not recommend substituting regular molasses. I used Aleppo peppers and next time would add some dried red pepper too, for a bit of heat. I added extra lemon before serving. It's so vibrant visually; make sure you consider on which dish you will plate it!

    This is a truly refreshing and tasty spread. Took it to a party last night and got many request for the recipe. I did add additional salt and lemon juice. This is definitely a keeper.
