Turkish Muhammara

If you have been following this blog for awhile, then you know my husband is Turkish.  A lot of Turkish dishes are vegan.  This Turkish Muhammara dip is super easy and tasty too.  It’s another alternative to hummus.  It would be great with veggies, pita chips or as a spread on toast.  If you like Turkish food, you may also want to check out my Red Lentil Soup and my White Bean Salad.

I know it doesn’t look very pretty, but I promise is so good!!  The traditional dish calls for breadcrumbs, but I wanted to keep it grain free, so I just added extra walnuts.  So this recipe is vegan, gluten free and grain free.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
