Esme, that’s what my Turkish colleague told me

Grind the walnuts, feta, and garlic cloves very finely in a blender until a paste forms. Then mix with the tomato paste and lemon juice. Season to taste with a little olive oil, salt, paprika, and pepper. It tastes great with flatbread, but also with roasted meat. I’ve even had it with meatballs (Fridakellen or meatballs).
