Instructions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Roughly chop the walnuts and pistachios with a knife; set a few pistachio pieces aside for garnish.

  3. 3

    Crush the garlic and finely chop the dill and parsley.

  4. 4

    Add the nuts, garlic, herbs, dried mint and 40 g of the olive oil to the cheese and mix, keeping some texture rather than a smooth paste.

    Spread on a serving plate, make a shallow well in the middle, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and scatter the reserved pistachios. Chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
