Is this Roasted Red Capsicum Spread basically same Muhammara dip that I shared yesterday?
Yes, the main ingredients are same but the taste is different and delicious. I made both the dips together and wanted to post them in one post.
The girls could make out the difference so I thought I will dedicate a single post for this. I had told them to make sandwiches and they slathered one slice of the bread with Muhammara and the second with this spread. Of course, I have no pictures of the sandwiches they made but I can imagine with cucumbers, and tomatoes it must have tasted delicious.
Needless to say, they want a repeat of both the dips again! This one is from Vaishali's place here.
