Step 1:

Gather the ingredients you need to make this dish, "Farmer's Cheese with Walnuts." It's a savory snack. Make it with the freshest soft farmer's cheese. It's best to use tender, non-grainy farm-market cheese. It should be very fresh, since the cheese won't be heat-treated.
Step 2:

Chop the walnuts finely. You can do this with a mortar, a blender, or by chopping the nuts with a knife. You can lightly toast the nuts first in a dry skillet, cool them, and then chop them - it'll taste better that way!
Step 3:

Mash the farmer's cheese thoroughly and add the chopped walnuts.
Step 4:

Finely chop the peeled garlic or grate it on a fine grater and add it to the mixture. Add salt and other ingredients as desired (herbs, spices).
Step 5:

Mix all the ingredients well until smooth. If the farmer's cheese is dry, you can add a little melted butter. Serve the finished farmer's cheese with walnuts on slices of dark bread. It's especially convenient if the bread is already sliced.

Overall, this farmer's cheese snack with walnuts is quite self-sufficient and balanced. Besides fresh herbs, you can add some spices to taste: ground black pepper, ground coriander, Svan salt. It's best to use young garlic. With old garlic, be sure to remove the green sprout inside if there is one - this gets rid of the excessive harshness and "pushiness" of the garlic flavor. As an option, you can serve this farmer's cheese snack wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves or with a piece of lavash! Added mint or basil gives this snack an extravagant touch.
