I roasted red peppers until the outer skins were charred. After letting the peppers cool to room temperature, I removed the skins and seeds. I toasted the walnuts, omitted the pomegranate molasses and garlic, and I used red wine vinegar in place of lemon juice. This dip is one of my all-time favourites! - 03 Jun 2014
