  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4           cup  vegetable oil
     1/4           cup  pine nuts
     1/4           cup  sliced almonds
     1/2           cup  walnuts
     1/4           cup  unsalted roasted pistachios
     1/4           cup  unsalted roasted cashews
  3             medium  red bell peppers -- (1 pound), cut into 2-inch pieces
  1             medium  sweet onion -- coarsely chopped
     1/3           cup  toasted bread crumbs
     1/2           cup  extra-virgin olive oil
                        Salt
                        Cayenne pepper

In a small skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Add the pine nuts and almonds
and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly golden, about
2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the nuts to a plate.

Add the walnuts to the skillet and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 3
minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a food processor and let cool completely.
Add the pistachios and cashews and pulse until the nuts are finely
chopped. Scrape the finely chopped nuts into a medium bowl.

Add the bell peppers and onion to the food processor and pulse until
finely chopped. Transfer the pepper mixture to a fine-mesh sieve and press
to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the mixture to the chopped
nuts. Stir in the pine nuts, almonds, bread crumbs and olive oil. Season
with salt and cayenne and serve.

Serve With Warm pita.

Makes 3 cups (12 one-quarter cup servings)
TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN

The classic Syrian nut dip muhammara typically contains walnuts, bread
crumbs, Aleppo pepper paste and pomegranate syrup, but there are endless
variations. The bright-flavored take here is adapted from a recipe by
Anissa Helou's Syrian chef-friend Mohammed Antabli. Pistachios, cashews
and freshly toasted pine nuts, almonds and walnuts give it a chunky
texture, while onions and red bell peppers make it tangy-sweet.
