Muhammara is a delicious Middle Eastern dip or spread. The name comes from the Arabic word for "reddened," referring to its bright red color. It has a rich, slightly sweet and slightly spicy flavor profile and is typically served as an appetizer or mezze dish, accompanied by pita bread or vegetables for dipping. Here, the Chef prepares a very vibrant toast that can be served as an appetizer or a good brunch option.
