Recipe: Muhammara (Hot sauce with walnuts and mint)
Hot Sauces
December 01, 2010
 The chili plants have lost many leaves, and summer green bushes are now bare and yellow...
 ...but still full of chili peppers to harvest.
So with the first walnuts of the year, some fresh mint and chilies harvested from my rooftop, I made this quick Syrian sauce. It can be served on crostini or pita bread, and it's delicious on grilled meat.
