you will need, roasted bell peppers( you can use jarred, if you like ), toasted walnuts ( i used a combination of pecans and walnuts... that s what i had), cumin (you can add more if you like), paprika ( or smoked ...or tomato paste), chipotle powder (or a sprinkle of chile flakes), garlic cloves, balsamic vinegar ( or pomegranate molasses, if you can find it), kosher salt to taste, olive oil ( +/-), sugar/honey, toasted whole grain bread crumbs( optional...i didn tsp use ), warm water to thin it out, place all the ingredients in a blender/food processor....except the warm water ., blend/process until fine. add more olive oil , if you like. this thins it out a bit and adds flavor as well. you can also thin out the dip by adding some warm water. blend/process again. taste and adjust seasoning. you can add more spice, seasoning or acidity according your taste. i chose not to use the bread crumbs, but the original recipe usually adds it. so feel free to do so. serve with pita chips, vegetables or even use it as a marinade for grilled meats.
