It's Friday night: time to relax and to enjoy even more life!
You want to impress your friends while having a drink together at your place.
You can cook a very quick and delicious dip: mouhamara.
It's a traditional lebanese recipe, which is already vegan (lebanese cuisine is awesome), but I adapted it to my taste.
Mouhamara (Marion's way)
3 roasted red peppers
1 cup of blanched almonds
(blanched = with no skin.
If you want to learn how to blanch almonds: here we go)
(Lebanese cook it with walnuts,
but I prefer it with almonds!)
4 tsp of extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp of pomegranate molasse
3 minced garlic gloves
To taste:
a pinch of red chili
a pinch of salt
a pinch of black pepper
a pinch of cumin
[Some people also had 1 tsp of bread-crumb. But not me :)]
Then, place them in the oven at 210°C and roast them for half an hour. Rinse them under cold water. Then, drain them. Wait until they are cold. Remove their skin.
In the food processor, mix the almonds first, then all the other ingredients.
Drizzle the dip with olive oil and garnish with some almonds. It's time to enjoy it!
Tip 1: If you can, cook it one day in advance: it will be more tasty :)
Tip 2: If between 8 to 12 hours before the recipe, you presoak the almonds into a bowl of water, you'll increase the vitamins C, B, etc! It will also help your body to assimilate magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc & iron.
Tip 3: I love eating mouhamara as a dip for fresh vegetables as salad leaves, carrot or cauliflower. Yummy!
Picture to come: I ate it too quickly ;)
Bon appétit!
