AuthorNote: The Arabic name for this dish comes from the word Muhammara,
which means to brown something when cooking it but literally means "to
make red" since the word 'hamra' means red. While muhammara is most often
serve as a spread with pita triangles, I have also seen it sued to stuff
phyllo dough triangles for elegant and unexpected appetizers.
