𝕊𝕡𝕚𝕔𝕪 ℕ𝕦𝕥𝕤 ℙ𝕒̂𝕥𝕖́ - 𝕃𝕖𝕓𝕒𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕖 𝕄𝕦𝕙𝕒𝕞𝕞𝕒𝕣𝕒
Muhammara, محمرة، a spicy nuts pâté dip recipe enjoyed throughout the Middle East, normally super spicy & delicious, a plant-based/vegan appetiser that is easy to prepare & delightful to enjoy.
This recipe is from a good top Lebanese chef, Elie W Haddad, with his food being exquisite, making sure everything you eat is flavoursome. He’s also my handsome Uncle & Mummy Najat’s youngest & cheekiest brother 😁🙏❤️🌹🧿
Note: using a good food processor will help you in making a smooth texture for the pâté.
150g or 1/2 bottle of Malaysian Extra Hot Chilli Sauce (Maggi)
150g walnuts
150g raw almonds
125g raw cashew nuts
