Umm, maybe not all hearts and roses


So for all you folks like me, that Valentine ’s Day is most defiantly not your thing, for whatever reason, don’t sit in feeling sorry for yourself with an oversized box of chocolates.

Grab some like-minded friends, dash up some cocktails in any colour apart from pink, and whizz up some great dip & serve with pitta and veg, turn some lively music up really loud and have a party!

This simple dip is a real winner and lots of other nibble ideas on the website

Maroque's Muhammara
 
 

This is my version of this Syrian nutty red pepper dip.

3 roasted & skinned large red peppers
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
40gm blanched almonds
2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
Salt and pepper to taste

 

1. Put the pepper, almonds, pomegranate molasses, cumin, chilli and olive oil in a food processor and whizz to a coarse paste.

2. Season with salt and pepper and chill. Can be kept in fridge for up to 2 days.

3. Serve with crispy sumac or mint pittas.

Serves 4
