Muhammara (Middle Eastern Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Dip)

10.24.09 Muhammara
This recipe is loosely based on the one on p.99 of the cookbook Vegan Fire & Spice.

Ingredients:
16oz jar of roasted red peppers (in water)
15.5oz can red kidney beans (Beans are not usually in Muhammara, but I just threw these in. It's really tasty! Omit if you want.)
3/4 cup walnuts
2 garlic cloves, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 small bunch of italian flat leaf parsley

Directions:
Throw all the above ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.
Enjoy with pita. Mmmm.
