Ingredients

3 red peppers, halved and seeded
2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for serving
1/2 cup walnuts, plus more for serving
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. ground sumac
1/4 tsp. cayenne
Kosher salt
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
Pomegranate molasses (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1Rub peppers with 1 tablespoon oil and place, cut side down, on foil-lined baking sheet. Broil until skin starts to blacken, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately transfer to bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let sit until tender, 12 minutes. Remove and discard skin.
2. Step 2In a food processor, pulse walnuts, lemon juice, garlic, sumac, cayenne, remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt to combine. Pulse in peppers until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Stir in bread crumbs.
3. Step 3Transfer to serving bowl. Drizzle with oil and pomegranate molasses, if using, and sprinkle with more walnuts. Makes 2 3/4 cups.
