I've had muhammara in a few restaurants and loved it and wanted to try an at-home version. I tried the recipe as written and liked it [my family did, too]!, but I'll make a few tweaks to it when I make it a second time. I'll use fewer red peppers and more walnuts to give it a thicker texture, mix it up in two batches [one without the small hot chilis to accommodate those with a lower spiciness threshold] and may forego peeling the peppers [or add grilling time to see if that makes peeling them a little less obnoxious].
The pomegranate molasses was a little tricky to find [I finally found it in an Asian foods store], and I found the recipe to yield quite a bit more than 3 cups, so make sure you have extra pita!
