Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup walnuts (60 grams)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup bread crumbs (plain)
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1½ tablespoon pomegranate molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 roasted red bell pepper (about 1 cup or 125g grams of pepper pieces from jarred roasted peppers, drained)
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant. Remove them from the pan to cool.
  • Juice the lemon to yield 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Peel the garlic cloves. Drain the jarred red peppers.
  • Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Process until mostly smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Check the consistency (see notes) and add additional ingredients if needed.

Notes

Moisture content in the peppers can vary quite a bit.  If the mixture seems dry once processed, add 1-2 tablespoon of olive oil and/or 1-2 tablespoon of water and re-process the dip to bring it to the desired consistency.  If it seems too wet, add 1-2 tablespoon additional breadcrumbs and/or 1-2 tablespoon walnuts and re-process to get the desired consistency.
