Moohammara/ Muhammara - Traditional Lebanese Appetizer Recipe

I saw this recipe from a local magazine and was thrilled to see that it is the same recipe used in the best Mediterranian restaurant in town!!! The chef deigned to release the recipe, hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Here is the excerpt from the magazine: Moohammara is a tradition Lebanese appetizer, though it's less well known that its cousin, hummus. The nuts, red peppers and pomegrante give it a unique texture and a sweet, tangy taste that goes well with a variety of dipping foods. The recipe comes courtesty of Aida Abboud, chef and owner of Aida's Mediterranean Bistro. Abboud has been cooking up Mediterranean delicacies for 14 years.
