Muhammara
This traditional dish features a rich and savory blend of roasted walnuts, red peppers, and aromatic spices, all brought together with a splash of tangy lemon juice and a hint of sweetness from pomegranate syrup. Enjoyed as a dip with pita bread or as a flavorful topping for grilled meats and vegetables.
