The word muhammara means red, blazing flame and this is what you’re getting with this delicious Middle Eastern dip with Syrian origins. Muhammara is made with red peppers, tahini, breadcrumbs, walnuts and crushed chilis, though you can find recipes that also include cumin, coriander seeds, garlic or lemon juice.
In Arabic countries, muhammara is not only a dip, but also enjoyed as a side dish for lamb, chicken or seafood.
