Scorțișoara (scorcolga)

Instructions

1. Soak the stale bread crumb in a little cold water for 5 minutes, then squeeze it to remove the excess water.
2. Peel the garlic and crush it in a mortar with the salt until you get a smooth paste.
3. Add the walnuts and grind them finely in the mortar or in a blender, keeping a slightly grainy texture.
4. Mix in the squeezed bread and crush everything together to bind the mixture.
5. Pour in the olive oil in a thin stream while working the paste, then add the vinegar, pepper and paprika.
6. Taste, adjust the seasoning and let it rest 15 minutes in the fridge before serving.
7. Spread it on the country bread and serve with the radishes and cucumber cut into sticks.
