Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 red bell peppers
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 vine tomatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • ½ to 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 twists of black pepper
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the bell peppers and tomatoes into quarters and chop the onion into pieces. Place them on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 30–40 minutes until charred.
  2. While roasting, heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté minced garlic with tomato paste, cumin, and red pepper flakes for about three minutes.
  3. In a food processor, combine the roasted vegetables with the sautéed mixture, walnuts, and balsamic vinegar. Blend until creamy. If too liquidy, gradually mix in breadcrumbs until desired thickness is reached.
  4. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve on a platter garnished with pomegranate seeds and parsley alongside warm pita.
