How To Make magical muhammara
-
1Note: I use Aleppo powder for many of my Middle Eastern recipes.
-
2Place all the ingredients *except* for the flat leaf parsley in a food processor. Puree until smooth.
-
3Transfer the muhammara to a non-reactive serving bowl or platter. Cover and chill several hours to allow the flavor to enhance.
-
4Before serving, garnish the top with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with flat leaf parsley. Serve at room temperature with Arabic bread, pita chips, slices of French bread or similar. Really good served with a bowl of lebeneh on the side!
