This was my first time making something like this and I was surprised how much I liked it.

Hi Donna, you want to use fresh bread crumbs, not dried for this recipe. You can make these yourself easily, just follow these instructions: https://naturalcomfortkitchen.com/how-to-make-fresh-bread-crumbs/

Looking forward to trying this and having another recipe to use pomegranate molasses with. I love this ingredient! Do the breadcrumbs have to be fresh? Can dried ones be used instead?

Hi K,

You could use fresh red peppers and roast them yourself. If you are really ambitious, then you can use fresh pomegranate seeds and make your own pomegranate molasses using a recipe like this one: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/pomegranate_molasses/

In reply to Mesh. Oooh, tahini is a GREAT idea! I think I'll have to make another batch of this with the excuse that I need to try it with tahini :)

This has been my favorite Middle Eastern dip for a long time! Some Middle Eastern grocery stores even sell jarred pureed red pepper paste (basically harissa without all the added spices). Also, I have found that putting in a little tahini (1 tablespoon) really brings out the flavor of the walnuts more. 🙂
