Ingredients | Honey Roasted Walnuts

1 cup fire-roasted red bell peppers - peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses

1 teaspoon salt, plus more if needed

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes or other red pepper flakes, plus a pinch or so for garnish

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley for garnish

Directions

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook and stir frequently until walnuts smell toasted and are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer walnuts to a plate to cool. Reserve 2 or 3 to coarsely chop and use for garnish.

Place the skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs; cook and stir frequently until crumbs turn golden brown, 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle onto plate with walnuts.

Place peppers in bowl of a food processor. Add walnuts, toasted bread crumbs, garlic, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, salt, paprika, Aleppo pepper flakes, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Pulse on and off, scraping mixture down occasionally, until mixture is fairly fine and smooth. Transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

Transfer to a shallow serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to swirl indentations on the surface to capture the garnishes. Garnish with reserved chopped walnuts, a drizzle of olive oil, pepper flakes, and chopped parsley.
