3-4 slices of white stale bread
1/3 yellow onion (or little less), chopped
3 tablespoons Turkish red pepper paste
1/2 tablespoon concentrated tomato paste
8 oz walnuts, shelled
2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of Salt
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon water
To serve:
15ml/1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1-2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Pita bread, tahini bread or crackers

From Turkey 🇹🇷 . Grind the walnuts with the onion, cumin, salt and red pepper paste and tomato paste in the food processor. Soak the bread into water and squeeze the excess water. Crumble the bread and add to the mixture in the food processor. Add the olive oil and water and blend to make a smooth spread. If it appears to be too thick, add a little more olive oil. Place the spread on a small salad plate or bowl. Pour the extra virgin olive oil all over and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Serve the spread with pita bread, tahini bread or wide crackers.
