Step 1
Drain the roasted red peppers in a colander, pressing them gently with the back of a spoon to remove excess liquid, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Spread the walnuts on a dry skillet over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until fragrant and lightly golden, about 4–5 minutes, then pour into a bowl to cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the cooled walnuts, drained peppers, pomegranate molasses, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 0.5 teaspoon cumin to a food processor.
Step 4
Blend on high speed for 60 seconds until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy paste with no visible walnut chunks.
Step 5
Taste the dip and add salt and pepper until it tastes balanced — slightly tangy, warm, and savory without bitterness.
Step 6
Transfer the muhammara to a shallow serving bowl, then use the back of a spoon to create a gentle swirl pattern across the surface for visual appeal.
