Middle Eastern Roasted Red Capsicum & Walnut Dip
Ingredients
- 3 large Red Capsicums cut into thick strips, discard the seeds and stem
- 1 cup JC's Australian Natural Walnuts roughly chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic sliced
- 1 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Chili Powder to taste
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 2 tbsp Pomegranate Molasses or Syrup
- Squeeze of Lemon Juice
- 1/3 cup Fresh Breadcrumbs
To serve
- 1 tbsp Chopped Parsley
- Pita Crisps

Instructions
- Place the capsicum slices skin side up on a tray. Place under a preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes or until black and blistered. Wrap the capsicum pieces in a sheet of foil and allow to cool.
- Gently remove the blackened skins from the capsicums and place the flesh into a food processor with the walnuts, garlic, spices, pomegranate molasses and lemon juice. Process until the dip is well combined but still a little chunky.
