How to make Muhammara, a DELICIOUS red pepper and walnut dip

[@s.p9189]

The part about the walnut allergy is so real 😂😂😂

[@MiddleEats]

Absolutely, still worth it though. Especially in baklava!

[@polyphiloprogenitive4614]

@@MiddleEats No! Please do not risk your life!

[@luklegrand5624]

I also got an allergy but when the nuts are toasted evenly it’s okay.

[@MikeHughJass]

I subbed almonds and it works just fine. Pistachios would also work, but are more per oz.

[@ThePallidor]

Ferment walnuts in water for a day or three, the dehydrate. Should mitigate allergies.

[@colinmckellips]

OMG the walnut allergy line delivered with a smile is pure gold

[@girliedog]

Oh my God, I just made this, it is wonderful, my husband loves it. We're eating it with Pita toasties.

[@juliandanieljimenezkrause7802]

Just did it. My first muhammara! Not the last one! With fresh chargrilled peppers, self-made pomegranate molasses (following as well your vid). Delicious --- just tasted a bit, letting the flavours mix overnight. Thank you!

[@calvinthompson888]

Someone get this man a Tommy Hilfiger sponsorship, look at what he endures to bring us flavor 🙇🏾

[@MiddleEats]

Hahahaha not gonna lie, I'd love that. Their cotton is just sublime. I'd happily eat kilogrammes of walnuts for a sponsorship.

[@Vits117]

This whole exchange just made me smile hahahaha Obie, you deserve it, mate ^_^

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

You can use muammarah in other dishes too. It makes a great pesto-like dressing for pasta dishes, you can use it to add flavor to tuna or egg salad, it works as a sandwich spread, and I’ve even used it in deviled eggs. It’s very versatile and delicious, and it’s so easy to make. I like your recipe the best, as the others I’ve tried were garlicky and hid the delicate walnut flavor.

[@ESOTO86]

Hi ! Do you know what substitute can I use for Pomegranate Molases ?

Another great video, and clear instructions... Muhammara, is an underrated middle eastern dish and this video serves it justice 😊👍

[@MiddleEats]

Thank you Hussam! Hope you give it a try.

[@onocoffee]

Thanks for risking your life to make this video. It looks great and is a great reason for me to make another batch of pomegranate molasses!

[@MiddleEats]

Ah no bother at all, twas but a scratch.

[@SirSutty106]

Oh damn I see your sub count has gone way up. Nice work. Keep it up man :D

[@MiddleEats]

Thank you, it's been quite the crazy few weeks. I'm super thankful to everyone who has subscribed and watched the videos.

[@sdega315]

Delicious!! We have a Jordanian friend who introduced us to this delicious spread. My wife loves to make it for family gatherings.

[@MiddleEats]

It's perfect for gatherings, I'd serve it with toum and chilli sauce for the perfect trio.

[@polyphiloprogenitive4614]

Muhammara is one of our favourite dishes to serve to guests. I have never yet met anyone who had heard of it before eating it at our house, and everyone demands the recipe! Sometimes we make it with tahini but more often without.

[@Ajoi14]

I made this a few days ago and it was PERFECT! Thank you sooo much! I've always wanted to make Muhammara similar to that I have at restaurants. I can finally do that thanks to you! Love from Syria!

[@Papuca3000]

Worth eating despite allergy. Thats the best marketing Ive ever heard.

[@hkalsa7200]

I’ve made this a few times and I love it. Thank you for demonstrating two ways to flavor it; both look great! 😍

[@MiddleEats]

No problem, hope you give this recipe a try!

[@SteiniDJ]

Awesome, that looks too delicious. I serve and eat roasted red peppers all the time, and you've given me yet another use for them.

[@MiddleEats]

Amazing, hope you enjoy this!

[@cypherknot]

Your instructions are very clear and thorough. Rank beginners can follow them.

[@Condrayack]

I have tried a few of your recipes and am on a massive Middle Eastern kick. It is seems very Mediterranean, but with more of a savory aspect, it is also very nice as a lot of the dishes accommodate the hot climate in my state.

[@MiddleEats]

Thanks, that's a good way to put it. The food is designed for the hot climate, but the winter dishes can warm anyone's soul. Thanks for trying them

[@steplat]

Muhammara is my absolute favorite! Thanks for explaining it so well. Can't wait to try it

[@MiddleEats]

Hope it turns out good!

[@susanrodesky9872]

Love this dip! I am addicted now. Expanding my repertoire of culinary tastes is so enjoyable. Forget the ordinary sour cream, spinach, and ranch dips -- and try these wonderful dishes from other countries!

[@yassocayn]

I made, the result is perfect...Thanks.. People used to put tomato paste as well in Turkey, I prefer this one, much better.

[@shubhamaggarwal2602]

This is the best video on muhamarra dip that I've seen. The recipe is detailed and quite easy for a kitchen noob like me to follow.

[@valery4654]

After trying your amazing ta'ameya recently i am having a meze selection today with muhammara, taboule, mashed ful and halloumi :D thanks for your work! you got me motivated to get out of my comfort zone and try some new recipes. 🖤

[@tracymazur3436]

I am ridiculously excited for this. We haven't had it in over a decade since we moved away from a restaurant that had it on the regular menu. Thank you! We are definitely giving it a try this week. :)

[@MiddleEats]

Aww, hopefully this is as good as the one you used to have. Let me know how it turns out!

[@tracymazur3436]

@@MiddleEats We made it tonight and wow! I forgot how good this stuff was!! Thank you, again, for making this video! :)

[@MiddleEats]

So glad you enjoyed it, how did it compare to the one you used to eat? Did you make any changes?

[@grovermartin6874]

@@MiddleEats The good thing/bad thing about your wonderful recipes is, once I've made your dishes, Obi, no restaurant can compare, so for the real treats, I have to cook it at home!

[@231gareth231]

Made this and everyone loved it .. very bold and well rounded flavour . I used a sweeter pepper 🌶 and it still turned out well

[@iyouitry]

We do not use bread crumb we use bulgar. And for the walnuts we soak them in water for several hours or overnight with changing the water 2-3 times.

[@muhmmadsaijary212]

As someone from Aleppo, try to sun dry your peppers instead of roasting them, as it gives a better flavor and texture

[@beatricemtu163]

Your muhammara recipes the best on net. I ve seen many, many , many recipes. I ve cooked few and result was so and so. But when I prepared your recipe it was very successful! Definitely, yours it's the very best. Thank you!

[@funkykoval2099]

Thank you!! This looks great, I can't wait to try making it. I have been looking for this recipe for over 10 years and couldn't figure it out.

[@MiddleEats]

There's definitely quite a few variants out there from Turkish, to Lebanese and Syrian versions, each with their own twists. I'm sure you could even make your own version to suit your palette. Hope you enjoy it!

[@sigogglin]

Just made this, 🤩 yum. I did cut the pomegranate molasses to two tablespoons as the brand I have is extra sour otherwise followed all other steps.

[@lacarrere8893]

if you're allergic to walnuts use hazelnuts or pine nuts... it will still taste great!

[@ankhan441]

Excellent and exquisite taste of Syrian cuisine on a plate. It's a marvel and a true feast for my pallets, I ate a whole bowl all by my self. And I am not sorry at all! :D

I've made this before, it's awesome! :) You can also roast the peppers in an air fryer

[@MiddleEats]

Thanks, and great idea. Will they char up well in an air fryer?

@@MiddleEats yes, absolutely, the skin was almost black, I did everything else like you :)

Another awesome video, thanks guys! You've become my go-to source for all middle eastern recipes. I heard about this dish today, thought of your channel immediately. Lo and behold, you have a recipe video! Keep up the brilliant work.

[@holybeernutz]

I wonder how it would taste with other nuts or seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or cashews? And without the tongue swelling? Thanks, this looks great!

[@charlietudju8238]

My mother does it with parts hazelnts, parts almonds and parts cashews and the result is great too ! Also I really love sunflower seed so maybe I should try using some, thanks for the idea !

[@MiddleEats]

I'm sure actually any nut will work but maybe some will need extra olive oil to make the dip soft enough. Charlie's comments with cashews sounds amazing and I think he's right about the sunflower seeds. You'll have to try it and report back!

[@grovermartin6874]

@@MiddleEats I'm relieved that there are variations you can make -- but also appreciate that you used walnuts on our behalf! I do understand loving foods we're allergic to.🥴

[@BarneyCarroll]

Man after my own heart! I’m allergic to acidic dark greens (spinach, parsley, etc) but when you need those special dishes I take the antihistamines and shoulder the hit. People need to understand that allergies aren’t all a risk of sudden death affair - I also get mild anaphylaxis like what Obis describing and it would be very unpleasant and alarming to have it all the time but it’s not necessarily the end of the world.

This looks so good! I look forward to making this for myself. I'm not sure where to find Pomegranate molasses.

[@theahmedation]

Any middle eastern store/grocer/international market should carry it, at least in the states. Or amazon 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MiddleEats]

Yes Ahmed is correct, it's one of the more easily available Middle Eastern ingredients. If you can't find it however, you can make your own pomegranate molasses by reducing pomegranate juice until it thickens. You can also add sugar to balance it out.

[@FleshPrisonJanitor]

Thank you both for the help! I'm excited to try this for myself.

[@cherryreyes2466]

Is there a good substitute for pomegranate molasses? Can you use molasses + cranberry juice reduced to a syrup?

[@MiddleEats]

Pomegranate molasses has a sweet, sour and fruity flavour. I'd suggest making some yourself from pomegranate juice, if you can get it. I did a video for it a few weeks back and I show how to make/use it. Cranberry juice and molasses may work, but it would probably be better to do cranberry and sugar. It won't really taste the same though.

[@bigmeany214]

Yum!

[@billsib5264]

Pretty good. I added a jalapeño to the roasted veggies. I could do without the onion though. I'd definitely make again. I used pecans, my body likes them better.
