Ingredients

4 leeks
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
to taste black pepper

Muhammara

1 roasted red pepper
1/2 cup walnuts
1 garlic clove
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
to taste salt

Instructions

1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2
Add the sliced leeks, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar, stirring to coat the leeks evenly.
4
Continue cooking, turning occasionally, until the leeks are tender and the glaze has thickened, about 8–10 minutes.
5
While the leeks are glazing, prepare the muhammara: place the roasted red pepper, toasted walnuts, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, and a pinch of salt in a food processor.
6
Pulse the mixture until it is smooth but still retains some texture, about 30 seconds.
7
Transfer the glazed leeks to a serving platter.
8
Spoon the muhammara beside or over the leeks, spreading it evenly.
9
If desired, drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top for added shine.
10
Serve warm or at room temperature.
