Ingredients

• 3 large red bell peppers
• 1 cup raw walnuts
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large fresh garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.25 cup almond flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.

Step 4

While the peppers are roasting, place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from heat and let them cool.

Step 5

Once the peppers are roasted, transfer them to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid. Let them steam for about 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Step 6

Peel the skins off the roasted peppers once they are cool enough to handle.

Step 7

In a food processor, add the roasted peppers, toasted walnuts, olive oil, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and almond flour.

Step 8

Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Step 9

Taste the muhammara and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cayenne pepper to your preference.

Step 10

Transfer the muhammara to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with additional chopped walnuts if desired before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, low-carb crackers, or refrigerate it for later use. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
