To make muhammara, start by roasting red peppers over an open flame or in the oven. Then, place the roasted peppers, walnuts, bread crumbs, and garlic in a food processor and blend until smooth. Finally, add olive oil and lemon juice to taste. Serve muhammara with pita chips or veggies for dipping. Enjoy
- Mouttabal – is another lebanese dip that is made with roasted eggplant. It is smooth and creamy, with a hint of garlic and lemon. It pairs perfectly with warm pita bread or vegetables.
Mouttabal is traditionally made by roasting eggplant over an open flame. This gives the eggplant a smoky flavor that is essential to the dish. Once the eggplant is roasted, the skin is removed and it is mashed with garlic, lemon juice, tahini, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper
