The Muhammara is a red bell pepper sauce. It seems to be of Syrian origin, although some say it is Lebanese. It is straightforward to prepare and requires only a few ingredients. I love to use it as a mid-afternoon snack with vegetable sticks or prepare it when I have guests, along with other sauces like classic hummus, eggplant hummus, and baba ganoush. Everyone will enjoy this appetizer!
