Cook Time

Yield
3 Cups
Ingredients
1 1⁄2 cups walnuts
15 ounces roasted red peppers (1 jar)
1⁄2 lemon juice (juice from 1/2 lemon)
1 bunch scallion
1⁄4 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper, aleppo (or smoked paprika )
salt (to taste)
black pepper, cracked (to taste )
Instructions
Toast the walnuts lightly until they are aromatic, but not burned. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until fairly smooth. The walnuts probably won’t become perfectly smooth, but you want the texture to be consistent throughout. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve drizzled with olive oil and enjoy with veggies or pita.
