What is Spicy Walnut Dip?
Spicy Walnut Dip is a Turkish-style meze made by combining finely ground walnuts with red pepper paste, garlic and spices; many home recipes also use olive oil. The exact seasoning and heat vary, and the walnuts may be pounded for a more rustic texture or blended into a smoother spread.
In Turkey, it is served with bread as part of a meze spread, alongside grilled food, or as a savoury snack. Its rich, nutty flavour and thick texture make a little go a long way. Walnuts give it a substantial share of unsaturated fat, with 25.1 g of total fat per 100 g. Serve a modest spoonful with cucumber, pepper strips or crisp bread for a balanced snack.
