Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut SpreadRoland Bello

A take on muhammara, a Turkish and Syrian red pepper spread thickened with bread crumbs and walnuts, this sunset-hued condiment comes together in minutes and does double duty as an accompaniment to both the kebabs and the grilled pita.

Cooks' notes:

•Spread is also delicious with crudit&ecute;s, crackers, or toasts.
•Spread can be made 3 days ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before serving.
