Muhamarra with Heritage Carrots & Pita

Ingredients

3 whole red peppers

50gr fresh breadcrumbs

5gr lemon juice

15ml pomegranate molasses

8gr ground cumin

15gr Aleppo chilli

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

50gr walnuts, roughly chopped

35ml olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Method

Roast the peppers, rubbed with oil and place in a preheated oven. Cook until skin has blistered and charred. Place the bowl in a bowl cover to allow sweating, once cool enough to handle, peel the outer skin and discard. Remove the seeds and stalk and place the pepper flesh in a food processor with the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, molasses, cumin, Aleppo chilli & garlic. Blend without loosing too much texture. Add the walnuts, olive oil and adjust seasoning to taste.
