    Walnuts

    wall-nut

    Walnuts are one of the most popular and versatile of all nuts. When picked young, they're…

  • 225g roasted red pepper from a jar, drained
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses (or substitute lemon juice or red wine vinegar)

Method

  1. In a pan, heat the ground cumin and pimenton in the olive oil until fragrant. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a food processor, then season with salt and pepper. With the motor running, slowly pour in the spiced olive oil until incorporated. Add a tbsp of water if it’s too thick. Scoop into a bowl and serve with freshly ground black pepper and pimenton on top.

I roasted my own peppers for this dip and it was exceptional. It's actually healthy, too.

Lovely dip- perfect to go with pre dinner drinks. Great with some pita bread that's been drizzled in oil and salt and toasted in the oven.

Rave feedback from my guests, they loved it, really delicious with a great texture. Also my husband keeps asking for it every Saturday night. Think I used lemon juice, must have been that or white wine vinegar... going to try to freeze some this time.

This is delicious! I never have all the correct ingredients so I swapped-out the pimento for smoked paprika, the red wine vinegar for white, fresh garlic for half a tsp garlic granules & substituted 30g pre-soaked almonds to make up the 100g of nuts... The result is a tasty vegan sandwich filler served on wholemeal bread with sweet pea shoots.

Absolutely one of the best tastes ever. I add a little water from pasta, crumbled cooked bacon and you have a wonderful pasta dish.

Just made this for the second time using pomegranate molasses this time. Only used 1tbsn - any more and it would've been too sweet - and then used 1tbsn red wine vinegar to counteract the sweetness! Ended being really delicious again.

Delicious! Just made this recipe and used it as a spread in a sandwich, I have got lots left! Will it store in a jar in the fridge? And how long for?

Thanks for your question. If refrigerated after making and stored sealed in a jar, this will keep for a week.
