Cumin Muhammara
A superb, fresh, very quick salad made in the food processor
What you need
Ingredients
3 to 4 large sweet red peppers, roasted, deseeded
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 thick slices of bread, stale or very lightly toasted
150ml, 5floz extra-virgin olive oil
2½ teaspoons Green Saffron fresh cumin, coarse ground
½ a fresh red chilli, deseeded
3 teaspoons pomegranate molasses
Juice of 1 fresh lime
2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Small handful walnuts
How to make it
- Place everything in the food processor, APART FROM the walnuts and blitz to a coarse texture
- check the seasoning. [This salad resembles a dip; it mustn’t be wet or sloppy so you might need to rectify as required with extra bread or olive oil, then check seasoning again]
- add the walnuts and pulse briefly so they’re only just crushed
- leave for a couple of hours before serving.
