Muhammara Sauce

Muhammara or Mahammara is a hot pepper sauce from Syria and is served as a dip with bread or as a spread on toast or simply as a sauce for kebabs and grilled meat.If nothing just mix it with steaming hot cooked couscous and there you can have a tempting and filling lunch or dinner.

The day I made this sauce ,I gave it to my daughter with couscous.She loved it so much that she would ask to make it every now and then.But this is extremely hot sauce so we used only a teaspoon in a bowl of couscous.The other day we ate it with some grilled aloo toast and relished it to the core.
