Preparation
- Step 1
In a small bowl, soak the bread in ½ cup water for 2 minutes. Remove excess water from the bread so that it is wet, but not dripping. Place bread and walnuts in the bowl of a blender or food processor and pulse until a paste forms. Add the garlic, olive oil and salt and process until well blended, scraping down the sides as necessary. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the lemon juice and vinegar. Adjust salt to taste. Serve with bacalao fritters (see recipe).

Yes, I love this. I don’t use the bread and I put in a whole bulb of garlic because I can’t get enough garlic in anything. It’s fabulous on a good bread, vegetables, and/or fish.
