Walnut-garlic Spread – We Love God!

How is the will of God done in heaven? Sadly? Burdensomely? Begrudgingly? No! It is done gladly! If I then pray, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” how can I not be motivated by a desire to be glad? It is a contradiction to pray for the will of God to be done in my life the way it is done in heaven, and then to say I am indifferent to whether I am glad or not. When the earth rejoices to do His will and does it perfectly, His will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven.

INGREDIENTS

2		Red bell peppers
1/2	c	Walnuts
4		Garlic cloves
3/4	c	Dried bread crumbs
1/4	c	Extra-virgin olive oil
1	T	Pomegranate syrup, plus
		Extra syrup for garnish
2	T	Lemon juice
1/2	t	Crushed red pepper flakes
		Salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Place peppers over a gas flame or on a tray under the broiler. Keep
turning so the skin is evenly charred, without burning and drying out
the flesh. Transfer charred peppers to a plastic bag, tie the top
closed and let steam until cool to the touch, about 15 minutes. Peel
off the charred skin by hand. Cut away stems, seeds and veins, and
roughly chop. Place chopped peppers in a blender or food processor,
add a few drops of water, and process to a paste. Transfer to a bowl
and reserve. In the same blender, drop in the walnuts and garlic with
the motor running and process for 30 seconds. Add the bread crumbs  and
process another 30 seconds. Return the peppers to the blender,  along
with the olive oil, pomegranate syrup, lemon juice, red pepper  flakes,
and salt, and process until smooth. Adjust seasonings, and  transfer to
a bowl. To serve, drizzle a little pomegranate syrup over  the top.
