Persian Recipe: Cheese & Walnut Spread

• 1/4 lb. Feta cheese
• 1/4 Cup Scallions
• 1/4 Tarragon leaves
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tsp kosher Salt
• 2 Cups Walnuts
• 1/4 Cup Basil leaves
• 1/4 Cup mint leaves
• 1 Tbsp. Lime juice
• 1/4 Cup Olive oil

Puree: place all ingredients in a food procesor and process to a coarse textured spread. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve with lavash or flat bread. Serves 4.

- Note: when we made this recipe, we found we had to add an additional lime (not an additional Tablespoon - an additional LIME) to pull the top notes. That may have something to do with the cheese we used which had a very deep full flavor (deeper than most feta).
