This is one of our favourite snacks. A delicious peppery dip originating from Aleppo, Syria. It keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, that is if you don't eat it all first!

  • 100g of toasted walnuts
  • juice of half a lemon

  • ½ tsp hot paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 75-100g of fine olive oil

  2. Wash and cut the peppers into large pieces and arrange, skin down, on a baking tray.
  3. Sprinkle with sea salt, ground pepper, and a little olive oil
  4. Bake for around 45 minuted until the skin of the peppers begins to blacken. Set aside to cool.
  5. Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a dry pan until they release their flavour and begin to brown. Set aside to cool.
  6. Add the roasted peppers, walnuts and other ingredients to a blender and blend until you reach a consistency you love.
