Serve this in a bowl with plain boiled or steamed vegetables such as runner beans, zucchini, or cauliflower.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 thin slices bread, crusts removed
1 cup walnuts or hazelnuts, coarsely ground
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3-4 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 or 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the bread in water and squeeze dry. Crumble it, and add it to the nuts in a bowl. Gradually add the olive oil, beating constantly, then stir in the vinegar and garlic, and season to taste with salt and pepper. The sauce should be very smooth and creamy.
  • You may use a food processor or blender. In this case add whole walnuts or hazelnuts at the end, when the rest of the ingredients have been turned to a cream, and leave the nuts slightly coarse.
