Thanks I really appreciate it..

[@miryamnal8093]

I love muhammara. It is so tasty.I fell in love with the Arabic cuisine when i was living in the Middle East

[@bpod]

This recipe was my introduction to your channel. A friend told me about how she and her sisters would snack on hummus and muhammara her mom and aunties would make for the kids (muhammara was her favorite). Happily, your video was one of the first I found when Googling for recipes, and I've been enjoying your channel ever since. I think I've made about five of your dishes so far, and they've all been delicious. Your videos are both entertaining and educational, and are much appreciated.

[@blanchetv]

Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment! So glad you are enjoying the recipes and welcome to our cooking family!

[@najeebkhan189]

I’ve tried a handful of Muhammara recipes, and this is the best one by far! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@blanchetv]

Thank you I worked a long time to perfect this recipe :)

I really hope this channel becomes more widely known. Not just the food, but the video quality is really good (and not just technically).

I ❤Muhammara I had it for dinner on Thursday, when myself and my parents went to a middle eastern restaurant 🇸🇾❤✌🏽👍🏽

[@mysteryhombre81]

Would of loved to visted Syria firsthand and seen its amazing architecture and experianced its food, people and culture. Such an amazing place scarred beyond recognition, thoose poor people, the whole of humanity wreels from what has happened and is happening there.

[@blanchetv]

One of my biggest regrets is to not have visited Syria, have always wanted to visit to see the beautiful antiquity, people, architecture, etc. It was such a gorgeous country destroyed by some of the most evil people on this planet. I truly hope this country will rise again to its former glory.

[@richardwallace6313]

This looks good, and I would use red chili powder instead of paprika for the heat. we roast several red (or orange or yellow) bell peppers every week, and thus I have never understood buying jarred with all the added preservatives and such. Also, there is no need to coat the peppers in olive (or any other) oil before roasting them. The important step is to put the roasted peppers into a paper bag or other closed container for maybe 10 minutes before peeling the skins, which then come right off. Some other versions of this recipe suggest using sumac, though others indicate that sumac and tomato paste are used for the Lebanese version (not Syrian) of this dish. Never seen the pomegranate molasses before, but I am sure it it available at markers in Dearborn.

[@blanchetv]

Yes the jarred one I used had no preservatives, but certainly people should check the ingredients if they want to use this shortcut. Pomegranate molasses is a game changer--I use it for so many recipes and vital for this recipe. And if you like heat, red pepper would be great for this recipe, or Aleppo pepper as well.

[@richardwallace6313]

Can I ask, which paprika do you use?

[@yazzman1]

Great idea on the pre-roasted bell peppers! thank you for sharing this awesome recipe!

[@frueskens]

care should be taken because the pre-roasted bell peppers mostly tastes of vinegar. I also add Harissa paste

[@blanchetv]

Oh yes, I found a brand that has very little vinegar--a good rinse and patting them dry is a good step to take if there is too much vinegar ;)

[@retiredbitjuggler3471]

I have loved this ever since I first tried it at our favorite middle eastern style restaurant. In fact I ordered the hummara just yesterday and then remembered your video and decided to try to make it for friends we are having over for dinner tomorrow. Well, I just made a double batch and it is spectacular! I’ll have to give their chef some of your pointers the next time we’re there.😊😊😊. Thanks for your great content. I am always looking for something different to spring on friends and family. This is definitely getting added to my list.

[@blanchetv]

So glad to hear that! I experimented a lot with this recipe until I achieved the flavor I wanted, happy that you like it as well. =)

[@jeffkeeth6929]

Wouldn't give your chef any "pointers." He's probably middle eastern and that would be rude.

[@blanchetv]

+Elizabeth Mansur Pine nuts would make a good substitute! :)

[@fivefingerfullprice3403]

Eat hummus instead. Who comes on to a recipe video where the main ingredient is a nut and say "I'm allergic to nuts, what else can I eat?" There are millions of recipe videos Elizabeth, nobody cares that nature and genetics hates you.

[@jacquesdemoley]

Thank you. It looks amazing. Do you use sweet or strong paprika? Also, red peppers are naturally sweet. Doesn’t pomegranate molasses make it even sweeter? Thanks!

[@blanchetv]

I have used all kinds (even smoky) with great results. I use very little molasses, which is actually tart too, so the flavors are very balanced. This is one of my most popular recipes, hope you give it a try ;)

[@jacquesdemoley]

@@blanchetv I tried it today. It was great! Thanks. I left out the pomegranate though, and the bread crumbs, but I love it 😊👍🍷

Is there a substitute for the pomegranate molasses? Thanks.

[@blanchetv]

Pomegranate molasses is really a key ingredient in making this dip--if they don't sell them in your area, you can buy it online: amzn.to/3lnuTxp You can try to make the dip by omitting it all together, unless you can find a molasses syrup that has both sweet and sour notes to it.

[@raghu.calligraphy]

Awesome.

[@tadef123]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. My husband is Syrian and his mom always makes this for me when I visit or someone brings it back for me and I absolutely loves this, and I could eat a whole jar of this when I was pregnant with my kids. I have one question why does it look a bit orange usually it is a deep dark red colour.

[@blanchetv]

All I use to give it this color is red pepper, tomato paste, paprika, and pomegranate molasses. This is actually one of my viewers favorites, if you like this dip give this a try! ;)

[@iyouitry]

I do not get it why so many recipes used bread crumbs while the original recipe calls for Bulgur. Recently some people started using quinoa for those who can not tolerate gluten. By the way we always highly recommended soaking the walnuts overnight before using them in this recipe.

[@blanchetv]

I use breadcrumbs because my Syrian friend's mother used it and I loved her version. Yes I believe soaking the walnuts makes them more digestible, but I love the nutty flavor of toasted walnuts. Never tried it with bulgur, sounds interesting!

[@0000AT]

Why do you need to add bread crumbs? Doesn’t it get soggy? The dip is thick anyways..

[@blanchetv]

It absorbs the flavors and holds the dip better. Without it the walnuts will separate from the oil, kind of like chunky peanut butter in a jar. But you can leave it out if you wish.
