- 100g of walnuts , ground as fine as possible with a food processor or nut grinder

- 30g of polenta
- 50g of Stilton , or other strong cheese, roughly grated
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 egg
Method

Place the ground and chopped walnuts, gram flour, polenta, grated cheese, pepper and dried thyme in a large mixing bowl and mix together thoroughly

Line a baking tray with some baking parchment, then lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll the dough out until it reaches a thickness of 4mm
