I think it’s important to choose your friends well.
My father taught me from a young age that you need to look for certain qualities in friends: honesty, integrity, sense of humor, intelligence, reliability, etc.
Pah! What a load of stuff and piffle.
As far as I am concerned, if they can cook, they’re in. If they can cook really well, they’re life-long friends.
Here’s a great recipe passed to me from one of my life-long friends.
Ready
- 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained
- 1 chipotle pepper
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbs lemon juice
- 2 Tbs (or slightly more) pomegranate molasses
- 1 Tbs ground cumin
- ½ cup (or slightly more) extra-virgin olive oil
- ½-1 cup walnuts
Set
- Blender
- Bowl
Go
- Combine all the ingredients (holding back half of your walnuts) and place the lot in the blender.
- Once it is mostly blended, add the rest of the walnuts and pulse a few times so as to only partially break them up (adds a lovely texture to the finished dish).
What you should know
Serve it with flat breads of your choice (and napkins!).
