Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 lbs red bell peppers
2 small fresno or hot hungarian hot chili peppers (or substitute turkish red pepper paste to taste)
1 1/2 cups walnuts, coarsely ground (about 6 oz.)
1/2 cup cracker, crumbled
2 tbsp pomegranate molasses, to taste (or more )
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (not the bottled kind )
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp toasted pine nuts
1 pinch ground cumin
olive oil (to garnish )

Directions:

Roast red bell peppers and chiles either over coals or a gas burner or under an electric broiler, turning frequently until blackened and blistered all over, about 12 minutes.
Place in a covered bowl to steam 10 minutes (this loosens the skin).
Rub off skins; slit peppers open and remove stems, membranes, and seeds.
Spread bell peppers, smooth side up, on a paper towel and let drain 10 minutes.
In a food processor, grind walnuts, crackers, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and sugar until smooth.
Add bell peppers; process until puréed and creamy.
With the machine on, add olive oil in a thin stream.
Add chiles to taste. (If the paste is too thick, thin with 1 or 2 tablespoons water.).
Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to mellow.
When ready to serve, transfer the dip to a serving dish.
Sprinkle pine nuts or pistachios and cumin and drizzle with olive oil.
