Compound Chevre With Basil And Walnuts

1. 1

   Toast walnuts in a cast iron skillet on the stove. Just warm them till you can smell them, less than five minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. 2

   Grind walnuts in a food processor until they look like bread crumbs. They should be moist, almost clumping together like pie dough.

3. 3

   Combine all ingredients, though hold back on the salt. (It helps if the chevre is at room temperature). Taste, and salt if you like. I think goat cheese is perfectly salty, so I didn't add any.

4. 4

   Use any way you like!
