Red Pepper Party Spread

Several people have been asking for this recipe, Sorry I didn't get it to you soone

This deliciously rich spread is a Middle Eastern dish called Muhammara. It's easy to make and a hit at parties. If you have Super Bowl Plans this is something nice to share with your friends.

If you want the flavor stronger make it the day before. (I did, it is better that way)

Great with pita triangles, veggies or crackers.
