High Protein Muhammara

High Protein Muhammara Six O Clock Show Aisling Larkin Modern Lifestyle Food
The Middle Eastern dip is bold and robust in terms of flavour. It pairs excellently with lamb as it does with bread or roast vegetables. It is based on roast red peppers, walnuts, chilli, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It is like a cousin to a Spanish Romesco sauce which is one of my best-kept little secrets. This muhammara dip works as a dip, a spread or even a marinade. I love the addition of cottage cheese, not only does it add a harmonious balance of creaminess in flavour and texture but it also packs a protein punch too, helping to keep us fuller for longer.
