1/2 cup good pepper paste -- (sweet, mild or hot)
1/2 cup good tomato paste
1 cup walnuts -- (coarsely chopped) & roasted
1/4 cup bread crumbs -- or a 1/4 cup of fine bulgur cooked, to cook fine bulgur all you do is add hot water = (1/4 cup bulgur with 1/4 cup of hot boiling water)
3 garlic cloves -- minced fine (add more if you like) (3 to 4)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
