Muhamara is a spicy, nutty, Middle-Eastern red pepper paste that is reminiscent of Hummus in texture. It make a great dip. Pomegranate molasses is sold in most Mid-Eastern groceries, but I found mine in the ethnic food section at Ralph's. Its sometimes called pomegranate syrup or just juice (its quite thick and not a juice). If you can't find it, honey will do. Sometimes I mix a bit of hummus into the Muhamara to make spicy, peppery hummus.
