This sounds fabulous and inviting. I love dips with warm pitta bread, but then who doesn't! We make tzatziki and hummus quite often and now that summer is not that far and peppers will abound I look forward to trying this lovely recipe. Thanks for sharing xx

Thanks so much Sinù. I hope you like it. I'm going to look up a recipe for tzatziki! I should probably try making my own hummus too.

Some people think there are no coincidences—perhaps not in the world of food, just a zeitgeist that connects us all. A few weeks ago I made muhammara to bring to a Turkish-themed party we had been invited to attend. It included most of the ingredients you reference. I ran all over town looking for pomegranate molasses and finally found it. It never occurred to me to make it myself. Kudos to you, Vicki. Your version of muhammara looks a lot like mine did. I thought it was delicious and can’t wait to make it again!🌶️

What a coincidence! We liked it too and will definitely make it again in the future. Thanks so much for the shout-out on Notes, Ruth.

I wish there was a Tara Kitchen in my neighborhood--it sounds so delicious. Muhammara is one of my favorite dishes, and I enjoyed reading about your take on it. I'm impressed that you made the pomegranate molasses from scratch and agree that it's an important ingredient in this dish.
