Step 1
If using jarred roasted peppers, drain them well by placing them in a fine-mesh strainer and pressing gently with the back of a spoon to remove excess liquid, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Place the walnuts in the food processor and pulse 8–10 times until broken into pieces the size of breadcrumbs, but not powder.
Step 3
Add the drained roasted peppers, pomegranate molasses, and 1 whole garlic clove to the food processor with the walnuts.
Step 4
Drizzle the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the mixture, then pulse 12–15 times, scraping down the sides of the bowl after the 6th pulse, until the mixture is smooth but still has a tiny bit of walnut texture visible.
Step 5
Taste a small spoonful and add a pinch of salt and pepper; pulse 2–3 more times to blend evenly throughout.
Step 6
Transfer the muhammara to a serving bowl and drizzle a thin line of olive oil around the edge in a spiral pattern if desired.
