Muhammara

Muhammara: Sweet, Savoury & Full of Character

Muhammara is a rich dip with a unique combination of savoury, sweet, spiced and lightly smoky flavours. Roasted red peppers bring a deep, slightly sweet flavour, while walnuts give the dip its signature texture and bite. Pomegranate molasses adds a tangy touch, while tahini brings all the flavours beautifully together.

Thanks to its rich flavour, muhammara is incredibly versatile. Delicious as a spread on bread or wraps, as a dip on a cheese or mezze platter, or as a flavourful addition to meat and vegetable dishes.

Straight from Aleppo

Muhammara (pronounced moo-ham-ma-ra) originates from Aleppo, Syria. Its name comes from the Arabic word ahmar, meaning “red” — a reference to the dip’s characteristic red colour.

Today, muhammara has found its way far beyond the Middle East and is increasingly enjoyed on sharing platters, in wraps, with lunch dishes, or simply as a flavour-packed dip made for sharing.
