Spices:

  • 150 g Walnut kernels

Instructions
 

  • Roast the sesame seeds in a pan until golden brown and allow to cool a little. Put the walnuts in a food processor and roughly chop them. Peel off the clove of garlic, cut a little smaller. Divide the toast into pieces. Add everything together with the parsley, dried tomatoes, sesame seeds, tomato paste, oil, pomegranate syrup, lemon juice and spices to the walnuts. Puree all ingredients to a fine paste.
  • Season the paste again and let it steep for about two hours. Then arrange decoratively and serve. Tastes very good as a starter with flatbread. I had frozen a homemade flatbread. Link to the baking recipe in preparation step 4. Bon appetit and have fun trying it out :-)!
