Ingredients

3/4 cup pomegranate juice or 4 teaspoons of pomegranate molasses
1/2 cup walnuts
3 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (16-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon for garnish
Salt
Pita Toasts, for serving

Directions

Put the pomegranate juice, into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until juice is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool and thicken.

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over a medium-high heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Put the walnuts and bread crumbs into a food processor and process until finely ground. Add the reduced pomegranate juice or pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, red peppers, cayenne pepper and cumin and process until smooth. With the processor on add the olive oil in a thin stream. Season with salt, to taste. Sprinkle with cumin and olive oil and serve.

Serve with pita toasts.

Lower Calorie Muhammara
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is Ellie's version of Muhammara, a dip I love. Ellie's version is quite nice, though a bit on the sweet side for my... taste so I suggest you add the pomegranate molasses one teaspoon at a time until it suites your taste. To make this dip a bit more savory try adding 1/4 tsp fresh minced garlic and increase the cumin to 1/2 teaspoon. I always prepare it with 2 red bell peppers that I roasted myself (not a fan of the ones in the jar) and serve it with homemade cumin seed flatbread. Read more

Make this once a month at our Mom's cocktail gathering
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for the first time about a year ago. I have made it at least once a month since then to serve at a... cocktail gathering I host at my house for moms. Even if I try a new recipe I need to make this as well because they expect it. It's got tons of flavor without the guilt. We usually just dip blue corn tortilla chips instead of toasting the pitas. We've also dunked celery and carrots in it. Leftovers are great inside of a sandwich wrap. Everyone who has eaten it loved it and I've passed the recipe on to many other people. Thanks Ellie!!!!Read more
