So simple to make and they don’t have to be your typical cheddar cheese Mexican quesadillas. The sky is the limit on the permutations you can make on this basic flat bread cheese sandwich. This one is made with gruyere cheese and roasted red peppers. That’s it! That and some flour tortillas. I like to use a bit of butter and a heavy cast iron pan to make my quesadillas. They come out delicious and crispy. The combination of a flavorful cheese with the roasted peppers was wonderful.

My Muhammara
December 8, 2007 by 1 Comment
This evening I’m heading out to a party and I was looking for something to bring as an appetizer. When Clotilde over at the Chocolate & Zucchini blog posted a Middle Eastern roasted red-pepper and walnut dip called muhammara I knew I found my dish. I followed Clotilde’s recipe and it came out delicious. I didn’t have any pomegranate molasses so I made my own version. I took the seeds of half a pomegranate and cooked them up with a couple tablespoons of sugar. I crushed them up well and strained it off. It had a nice flavor so I think it was ok. No smoked salt either but I added a wonderful smoked paprika that I have from Spain. The roasted red peppers were so sweet and the walnuts and cashews are so rich. The cumin adds a nice spice that mingles with the smoky paprika. I think people will like it.
