"I make muhammara regularly as I am of lebanese origin. The main ingredient is missing: red bell peppers. I used about 3 to 4 red peppers and I also add a small spoon of sugar...." See more"

"This recipe is definitely missing roasted red peppers. I used a recipe from another site that called for them. I think this is the kind of dish that you either love or hate...." See more"

"Very different, and very nice! I used orange juice instead of lemon juice, and I used twice as much as the recipe called for (gets thick). Probably wouldn't want to try doubling lemon juice, though...." See more Also, no need to chop walnuts or garlic if you have a good food processor. Sweet, savory, and exotic, I LOVE this recipe!"
