Recipes Tangy Muhammara (Red Pepper and Nut Dip) 4.0 (2,216) Add your rating & review The classic Syrian nut dip muhammara typically contains walnuts, bread crumbs, Aleppo pepper paste, and pomegranate syrup, but there are endless variations. The bright-flavored take here is adapted from a recipe by Anissa Helou's Syrian chef-friend Mohammed Antabli. Pistachios, cashews, and freshly toasted pine nuts, almonds and walnuts give it a chunky texture; while onions and red bell peppers make it tangy-sweet.
