I ate muhammara for the first time last year, it’s earth-shatteringly delicious. It’s now very much a regular dish in the house.
Better than hummus…. I don’t know about that. It does look good.
Gary Johnson allegedly made this, but he forgot the Aleppo…
Oh, no beans how interesting I always buy hummus with roasted bell pepper. I need to try this receipt Thanks.
Why do you need to add bread crumbs? Doesn’t it get soggy? The dip is thick anyways..
this is my favorite dish ever, thank you chef, from syria
a great tipp for you guys.. you can put this great sauce on a normal dough or pizza dough in a mini pizza shape and top it with a little bit of mozzarella cheese and cook it in the oven and here you have muhamara bites it has the magical taste as pizza for me
in syria we eat this in any time of the day..
it’s geart as breakfast
One thing I have to say works very well is smoked salt, it works well in a lot of places but any Savory dip from ranch to Hummus to this it is fantastic
Props for the hell or high watermelon i saw in the fridge. Delicious beer.
I watched some of your videos and the content is just amazing
Have been away for a while,, Did you move to a new home? The KItchen looks fantastic but i am surprised you do not have a professional stove as you always had one.. Hard to clean i know but the quality of cooking can not be beat.. Love this recipe i will give it a try, Can you do more Vegan recipes? I know they have become more popular now and are very healthy.. Thanks Dimitra..Have missed your Channel.. Just been very busy……
Would of loved to visted Syria firsthand and seen its amazing architecture and experianced its food, people and culture. Such an amazing place scarred beyond recognition, thoose poor people, the whole of humanity wreels from what has happened and is happening there.
Man, the test of whether or not it’s still good on vegetables as a spread is so accurate. Chef John knows what’s up.
Ok, Ok, how do I find the blog where the recipe is located?
http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/search/label/Dips
Thanks
First time seeing this, looks great. You should try another dip but made from almonds mainly, it’s soooooo good. No idea how it’s called tho.
CHEF JOHN SHOULD DO A CHALLENGING RECIPE. something sweet chef!
Nice twist on the recipe Chef, today am going to make it your way:-)
I don’t understand why extra olive oil on top on stuff like that is used. Is it the taste people crave? Visually it only looks greasy.
Thanks Chef. The best way to read Arabic words written in English is to emphasize the double letters and short vowels. That’s the secret to proper Arabic pronunciation ;)…. mo-haM-Mar-Ra. hoM-Muss……. Keep inspiring! 😉
blanche!¡I use to buy muhammara!! now I will make it..how much aleppo I can use?? if I use aleppo still I use papiktra??
Love this dip. I learned this recipe from my Turkish friend. She adds feta cheese to it and it is so tasty and healthy. Thanks
Thank you chef for your amazing recipes. Always informative and fun to watch.
My 2 cents: If you have a pestle, you can skip the processor and add some onions (onions taste awful in a processor) and it’ll be a little bit crunchy.
Also if you have it, a spoonful of tahini will be very tasty with this.
it’s 1:40am eastern time and im watching glorified peanut butter being made im okay
I love trying new recipes, but have never heard of this before. Sounds great. A nice alternative to hummus. Will make it soon.
haha @ snack table
looks good. Reminds me of Persian Fessenjun, walnuts and pomegranate paste
I always roast extra red peppers so I can make a batch of Pimento Cheese Spread.
What would we do without you chef john… You need to go daily.
If one doesn’t have time to shuck a couple of pomegranates during the span of a week, one should probably reevaluate their time spent.
-David Koresh
Is there a substitute for the walnuts? I’m allergic to nuts.
saved and will try it over the weekend! i agree with the comments below video quality, presentation, aesthetics are very good indeed.
thank you:)
It came out delicious, I roasted red peppers though, thanks for sharing:))
But the blog post doesn’t say anything about how to use/roast canned peppers!
a new recipe to try!! this looks amazing <3 thank you chef!!
Actually, as a prep cook of more than two years (before promotion to line) the much gentler and even heating of an oven is more conducive to even roasting than a pan ever will be. The outermost bits of your walnuts will burn in direct heat before the interior roasts completely… just saying
Chef John!!! You should publish your recipe directions as poems!!! And call it “For The Love of Food”. The way you verse the directions are so rhythmic and melodic. And the puns, what would Food Wish be without Chef John’s puns.
Thanks a lot for the recipe. I used to buy muhammara in arabic restaurant near my house, but now will prepare home))
Yes! I’ve not been able to find a place that has that closer to me. I learned to love it at a restaurant where I used to work.
Canada is turning 150 years old on July 1. Do a recipe honouring Canada. That’s another Food Wish of mine.
Excellent video!! Thank you so much for explaining in English!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe!! I’m Syrian and make this often. Only I do not toast the walnuts and bread crumbsI’m sure another layer of flavor is added when toasted..will try it, thanks!
Btw, this freezes EXCELLENTLY! I’ve used it as a spread on sandwiches and it is perfect!
So glad you did this one! My All Time Favorite dip! I’ve been making for Decades. You do some good touches that I do such as Toasting the walnuts. I rub as much of the tannic skins off the walnuts that I can. If I have gluten -free folks I leave off the breadcrumbs but like you I prefer the thicker texture the breadcrumbs provide.
i like how hes getting a bunch of vegetarian videos out before bbq season is in full swing…. because then we can get a few months of meat baby!
I use hummus as a spread on sandwiches to replace mayo, catsup, and mustard. This would be awesome on a sandwich…
I would serve this inside of a hollowed out red bell for display. Can not wait to try this recipe soon.
“You are the Green thumb of your breadcrumb.” Priceless.
Chef john can you make Caldereta next or ensaymada? I really love your videos
looks fantastic, but please avoid mentioning spreading a vegan dip on an animal,, vegans are watching and this is not appetising or nice for vegans.
How are you such an amazing chef? I do not exaggerate when i say everything you make looks so good!
I LOVED your facebook live! I could watch you all day….well, I kind of already do. lol
Check out the recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/258803/Muhammara-Roasted-Pepper-Walnut-Spread/
Nice one. I had it once a few years ago from the store. That got me researching recipes and now I make it regularly including later this week. Your ingredient list is pretty much the same as mine. I sometimes garnish with pine nuts, or also duqqa.
Chef John’s speaking cadence is like asmr to me. Just the right amount so it’s not focused on the voice itself, but just enough to be interesting.
I thought the title said “Mahatma” and I was like the leader, or the rice company. Yep, it’s bedtime.
I’m Lebanese but I’ve never heard of this! But I will definitely make it soon. It’s also accidentally vegan like many Lebanese dishes
I’ve tried a handful of Muhammara recipes, and this is the best one by far! Thank you so much for sharing.
So sad to see so much hateful rhetoric regarding people that practice Islam in these comments! Ramadan Mubarak friends, I hope at least someone gets to use this recipe at iftar!
why didnt you do a fathers day steak last year and are you going to do one this year?
Did looks really good! I want to explore middle Eastern foods!
Your eyes began to flutter uncontrollably when the spoon hit your mouth. If that’s not an indication of how good this dip is, then I don’t know of one.:)
Your vocal cadence is so unique and really captures my interest during these videos. I’m like “is he really saying things like that?” And you are!
Chef John drinking local brews! Looked like Fort Point and 21st Amendment?
Mainey aap ki chicken kadai recipe try ki bahot hi tasty bani
I watched some of your videos and the content is just amazing
Pomegranate molasses, I don’t have. Have the rose and orange blossom water, lol. Would there be a substitution? What flavor profiles does it offer? As another comment mentioned-what else could that pomegranate molasses be used for? Thank you!!
I read this as “MUHUHAHAHA” I was hoping for some kinda evil dish
I just made this and it turned out fabulous! I have a question though do I need to refrigerate the open bottle of pomegranate molasses or can I store it in a cupboard? Thank you so much.
Does anyone else notice how strangely he speaks, there’s always this weird intonation at the end of every sentence
So is this dip sweet because of the pomegranate and dates or is it more salty???
I’m allergic to nuts, is there a substitute. This looks too yummy to pass up‼️
Love ❤️ l i always have at the Lebanese restaurant, now thanks to you I know how to make my own, thank you
Oh a suggestion if you don’t mind.
When you introduce a “new” ingredient like pomegranate molasses, maybe you could include in the near future other ways to use this ingredient so as to use the rest of the bottle. Like some salad dressings or marinades.
Well done Dimitra! I love hummus, butter, and butter substitutes ( though not margarine! ). We are so conditioned to spread only butter on bread, but honestly, any sandwich is taken to the next level when hummus or dips such as this are used instead. There is only one problem……. I am out of pickled red pepper: (
Love this i’m going to give this a go,i’ve now found a new marinade for a whole chicken with a lemon stuck inside,that sounds heavenly…..also i was think about loosening it down with olive oil and cooked lemon from the chicken and making it into a salad dressing to go with the chicken and salad with some homemade flatbreads
i have subscribed once you mentioned the history of the dish! thank you
You make everything look better and tastier! Love the roasted garlic addition ❤️
Great!! question about the walnuts, what if someone is allergic to walnuts? any suggestion for substituted? Thanks
going to make it as soon as i get the pomegranate molasses…
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I’ll make this as soon as I hit the Middle Eastern market to get the pomegranate molasses.
You are the Drop Dead Fred of your roasted pepper and walnut spread!
After all, you are the Rudy Gay… of your middle eastern pureé.
Recipe saved! I can’t wait to eat this. I love red peppers, I love walnuts, I love pomegranate and I eat dates all the time. I bet they all are amazing together.
Thank you, Shira:)
That looks delicious but I’m cooking for someone who is allergic to all nuts. Any idea on an alternative ingredient I could use?
I was about to go to bed but now I’m watching video about Walnut Spread.
This is my favorite and I’m salivating already Thanks again for another great recipe!
If you use black walnuts it’s a very overpowering flavor.. stick to the regular walnuts!
Hello Henry. I made this today, and it is superb! I’ve got a small bowlful of the stuff next to me right now and I scoop out spoonfuls of the stuff and lick it off. Yum! This is going into the Bad Boyz section of my recipes collection book (its where I write down all the addictive recipes). Thank you for uploading! Please consider doing a vid on Bastani ice cream. All the best!
Just discovered your videos. Instant sub. What kind of grill is that?
This has got to be Romesco’s cousin. I was once a prep cook, and I shudder to think what my burnt nut karma will bring.
I really enjoy your recipes. I have made several of them out of necessity because I have moved away from my favorite middle eastern restaurant. your kabab recipes are fantastic. Your Persian dressing is also spot on! Thanks so much for the how tos!!!!

From lst 2 years i am searching a best syrian food channel
And now find you
Feel soo happy to learn from such a Gourgeous lady
Hi, it would be nice to have a written measurements and instructions for this yummy dip.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. My husband is Syrian and his mom always makes this for me when I visit or someone brings it back for me and I absolutely loves this, and I could eat a whole jar of this when I was pregnant with my kids. I have one question why does it look a bit orange usually it is a deep dark red colour.
Love your channel Chef John, been watching for years:)
Have you ever considered doing meal prep videos along side your traditional recipe videos? I think it would be an awesome addition to your channel and perhaps grow your following even more!
Much love, from Scotland
1 cup raw walnuts
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 cloves garlic, fresh, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp tomatopaste
1 tbsp fresh lemonjuice
1/2 to 1 tsp cumin
jar of rosted red bell peppers (or aleppo peppers, or roast or broil your own bell peppers)
1 tbsp pommegranate molassis
hot red peppers if you like it hot
1/2 tsp salt
chef John! Can you please do another lebanese dish or an armenian dish?
OMG!!! Thank you! I had this the other day, and I’m craving it!
Hi my lovely tried to follow you on Instagram but crnt find you really disappointed xx
What made this beautiful Christian Orthodox Arab lady who is originally from Palestine interested in Iran and its culture, food etc? Isn’t it because Iran alone stand against Zionist regime?
Hi this recipe sounds great I think my mam would like it with veggie sticks, would leaving out the chilli affect the recipe as my mam doesn’t really like hot hot things what about using smoked paprika for smokey sweet taste and little warmth, how long would this last in the fridge, do you have any other ideas this could be used for in recipes other than dips for veggies and bread or spreads in wraps or sandwiches, how would you roast home roasted tomatoes as ones in store are in oil or if buying the peppers in oil how much should you use and should you leave out the 2 tbsp of oil, thanks for the video
That dish, along with mexican bean majado and humus, look like diarrhea but taste awesome.
I did tryed before a good friend of mine Sirian Venezuelan though me how to make it. The pomegranate molasses is interesting in stead of sugar.
Thank you
Oh my god, this stuff is amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe chef John!!
I couldn’t find the written recipe on your blog, could you please give a direct link please? Thank you, Chef!
My food wish is, Chicken Saag. I believe it’s a northern Indian dish. Please let me know if you can do this. It’s my absolute favorite thing
The authentic muhammar is Humus mixed with chocolate powder, but don’t try it!
I’ve never heard of this, I’m excited to try it out! Thanks chef John
I agree about the nuts. They go from not-even-close-to-being-ready to charcoal in a heartbeat. (I use a dry skillet, though).
How do you spell “pamagarana melisa” the right way? Or how do I say it in arabic. I really wanna buy it. P.s Thank You so much
“These decisions are up to you”? BUT THE RHYME, CHEF! THE RHYME!
I’ve subscribed your channel, coz I don’t wanna miss your cooking guideline. Thanks for sharing your talent and recipes.
I MUST try this
Thanks for sharing!
Heretismata apo Germania
This recipe was my introduction to your channel. A friend told me about how she and her sisters would snack on hummus and muhammara her mom and aunties would make for the kids (muhammara was her favorite).
Happily, your video was one of the first I found when Googling for recipes, and I’ve been enjoying your channel ever since. I think I’ve made about five of your dishes so far, and they’ve all been delicious. Your videos are both entertaining and educational, and are much appreciated.
I love muhammara. It is so tasty.I fell in love with the Arabic cuisine when i was living in the Middle East
I watched some of your videos and the content is just amazing
Chef John, will you do a fried milk video? It’s like a crispy custardy desert treat.
You are a beautiful womannn, yooou will beee with meeee tonight
I really hope this channel becomes more widely known. Not just the food, but the video quality is really good (and not just technically).
Thank you so much for this recipe. I love grilled peppers, and adding these spices, nuts and lemon seems a great idea!
I loved your video. I just came from a vist to Beirut and this little dish blew my mind. I’m making right now. Thanks for sharing.
In Lebanese mountain villages rare is the home that has a food processor. How to prepare without one?
Great idea on the pre-roasted bell peppers! thank you for sharing this awesome recipe!
