Muhammara is a rich, flavorful dip originating from Middle Eastern and specifically Syrian cuisine. Its base ingredients include roasted red bell peppers, walnuts, olive oil, breadcrumbs, a hint of garlic, and pomegranate molasses for a sweet and tangy depth. Often seasoned with spices like cumin or paprika, it delivers a balance of smoky and slightly spicy notes. Notably high in healthy fats from walnuts and olive oil, Muhammara provides heart-friendly nutrients, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. Walnuts contribute protein and valuable omega-3s, while red peppers bring vitamins like A and C to the mix. However, the addition of pomegranate molasses and breadcrumbs may slightly increase sugar and carb content, making portion control important for dietary considerations. Typically enjoyed as a dip, spread, or alongside grilled meats and vegetables, Muhammara adds a vibrant, nutritious option to meals while aligning with Mediterranean diet principles.
