Muhammara Dip
Muhammara is a roasted red pepper dip eaten all over the Middle East. It is extremely easy to prepare, which is great, since it is extremely easy to eat a whole batch. All of the ingredients get puréed in a food processor. Then the dip will need to sit in the refrigerator for an hour to allow the flavors to meld with one another. Serve the muhammara dip with pita chips.
