In my family, we all greatly enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine. Being vegetarians this cuisine offers a wide variety of dishes which are all so flavorful and fresh. Muhamara is a dip served with pita bread and I was recently introduced to this lovely dip at a Mediterranean restaurant. Here I present my version of the muhamara.

Ingredients:

• 2 red bell peppers
• 5-6 pieces of sun dried tomatoes
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
• 2 tsps of strong chilli powder
• 1 tsp black pepper powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 slice of bread

Method:

Roast the bell peppers on a high flame till charred and wash off the peel in cold water. Deseed the peppers and chop them roughly.
Blend everything together to a smooth consistency and refrigerate. Before serving bring to room temperature and garnish with extra virgin olive oil and some more pomegranate seeds.
Enjoy with freshly baked pita.
