The muhammara or mhammara (Arabic: محمرة, lit. 'something that has turned red') is a dip made of walnuts, red bell peppers, pomegranate molasses, and breadcrumbs. While commonly associated with Syria,[1] muhammara can also be found in Western Armenian cuisine.[2] In western Turkey, muhammara is referred to as acuka and is served as part of the mezze platter appetizer course.[3][4]

Arabs will reflexively tell you that the famous muḥammara comes from Aleppo, Syria.
