    Red Pepper Walnut Dip

    This roasted red pepper walnut dip is a hearty and easy keto vegan dip to enjoy with low carb pita or flatbread. If you are a fan of red pepper hummus you should try this dip!

    A red pepper dip with walnuts is traditionally known as Muhammara as is originally from Syria. The traditional version uses breadcrumbs and pomegranate molasses but I've omitted them to keep this a keto dip.

    How to make red pepper walnut dip

    Just a handful of healthy ingredients are needed to make this easy dip:

    • Red Peppers - Full of vitamins C & A, red peppers are roasted for a fuller flavour.
    • Walnuts - Full of omega 3, these tasty nuts help thicken the diip
    • Lemon juice - adds to the tangy flavour
    • Cumin & Chilli - Warm spices give this dip a great flavour.

    Recipe Tips

    For a quicker dip, use a jar of roasted red peppers. Any oil from the jar can be used to make the dip smaller when processing in the food processor.

    Other spices for this dip could be used such as a smoky paprika.

    In addition to serving this red pepper walnut dip as part of a meze, you could use it as a sandwich spread or a sauce with zucchini noodles.

    For extra flavour, dry roast the walnuts in a pan before using them.

    Servings 8 servings
    Calories 80 kcal

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 3 red peppers
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ½ cup walnuts
    • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 2 cloves garlic peeled & chopped
    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
    • ½ teaspoon salt

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees.
    • Place the peppers on a baking tray and brush with the olive oil.
    • Roast the peppers for 30 minutes, turning over half-way through cooking.
    • Remove the peppers from the oven and place in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to trap the steam from the peppers. This helps with peeling them.
    • Allow the peppers to cool, then remove the plastic wrap from the bowl and peel the skin from the peppers.
    • Remove the seeds and cut the peppers into strips.
    • Place the pepper strips into a food processor with the walnuts, chilli, cumin, garlic, lemon juice and salt.
    • Blitz into a smooth paste. You might want to add additional olive oil if the paste is not smooth enough.
    • Serve in a bowl at room temperature.

      Hi. Really tasty dip! Had it for lunch with pitta.

      How long does this store in the fridge? And can I freeze this? Thanks for your help.

        This should store in the fridge for about a week. I've not tried freezing it but think it might work.
