Muhammara Dip



Our friend found this great looking recipe from Elizabeth Ann Designs and thought that we would enjoy trying it! We finally got around to making it for dinner to accompany our Kofta Kebobs. It was delicious topped on our salad. You can also use it as a spread for bread as in the pictures above. Or as a dip for veggies.
