Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 medium red bell peppers -- stems and seeds removed
1 medium Vidalia onion -- chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
3/4 cup walnuts -- crushed
1 tablespoon chili powder -- to 1 1/2 tablespoons, (add more for a Spicer paste) or use Aleppo red pepper for a milder, fruity taste
1/4 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons water -- to 3 tablespoons

Preheat oven 350F

Preparing the peppers: On a lightly greased baking sheet, place red peppers. Roast for approximately 12 minutes turning occasionally. Remove from the oven and peel the skin off.

In a small, lightly greased (use olive oil) saucepan, sauté the onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Set aside to cool.

In a food processor, puree the breadcrumbs and the water. Add just enough water to create an even paste.

Finishing up: Add the onions, the peppers, and the oil to the food processor and blend until an even paste.

Serves 6

AuthorNote: Serve this spicy muhammara paste with warm pita wedges, crackers or with crunchy vegetables.
