Nurperi’s Umami Muhammara

Nurperi’s Umami Muhammara

Ingredients

300 g Romano peppers, roasted and peeled.  
150 g walnuts, roughly chopped 
4 tablespoons pomegranate molasses 
1 clove garlic  
½ teaspoon cumin  
½ teaspoon smoked paprika  
50 g extra-virgin olive oil 
Pinch of salt 
3 tbsp Nordic “Soy” Sauce 
50 g breadcrumbs 
50 g parsley, chopped

 

Method
In a blender, combine the peppers, walnuts, pomegranate molasses, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, breadcrumbs, olive oil, salt, and Nordic "Soy" Sauce. Blend until smooth but still slightly coarse. Adjust seasoning as needed. For a drier texture, add more breadcrumbs. 

Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Stir in the chopped walnuts for added texture. 

Transfer the muhammara to a serving bowl. Garnish with parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and a splash of pomegranate molasses (and more chopped walnuts, if desired).
