What is Muhammara?

Muhammara is a flavor-bomb of a dip that hails from Syria. Traditionally made with red peppers, this version swaps in raw beets for something bright, earthy, and irresistibly nutty — not to mention that show-stopping pink color. It’s the kind of dish that makes summer parties feel extra festive, and it pairs beautifully with bread, crackers, pita, or whatever crudités you’re loving at the farmers’ market that week. Half the fun is how you serve it — I once spooned it into coupe glasses at one of my monthly supper clubs, and it was a total moment.
