Recipe of the week: muhammara chickpeas • Move over hummus, says Amelia Christie-Miller. This classic Levantine dip of walnuts, roasted red peppers, spices and pomegranate molasses is sweet, earthy and nutty: you’ll want to eat it with or on everything. In this version, it’s stirred through chickpeas, but you could also try serving it in a pitta bread with lettuce and tomatoes. It will keep in the fridge for up to five days.
