Ingredients

Makes about 1 cup (about 6 servings)

1/4 cup walnuts
2 red bell peppers (about 1 pound)
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon (or more) Aleppo pepper or 1/2 teaspoon hot smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon (or more) fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pomegranate molasses or balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until fragrant and slightly darker, 8–10 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.

    Step 2

    Step 3

    Toss bell peppers, garlic, mint, oil, Aleppo pepper, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, and walnuts in a small bowl; season with salt, black pepper, and more Aleppo pepper and lemon juice, if desired.

    Step 4

    DO AHEAD:Relish can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
