  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses
  • 1 1/2 cups toasted walnuts

directions

    1. Roast the red peppers on a rack over the burner on a gas stove or on a grill until blackened and blistered all over, about 10 minutes. Once they are roasted remove them from the rack to a paper bag and let stand until they are cool enough to handle.
