About Muhammarah
Muhammara is a flavorful Middle Eastern dip originating from Syrian cuisine, particularly Aleppo. This vibrant spread is made from roasted red peppers, walnuts, breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and optionally a touch of pomegranate molasses or chili for sweetness and heat. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats, Muhammara provides numerous health benefits. The walnuts contribute heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, while the red peppers are packed with vitamin C and beta-carotene. Olive oil further amplifies its heart-protective qualities. However, its calorie density should be noted, as walnuts and olive oil are high in fat, albeit healthy fats. Often enjoyed with pita, vegetables, or as a seasoning for grilled proteins, Muhammara is a versatile and delicious addition to meals. When consumed in moderation, it can be part of a balanced diet without concerns of excessive calorie intake.
