Mash the cokelek with a fork to make the curds smaller.
Coarsely chop the walnuts with a knife and do not process them in a food processor so they do not release their oil.
Add parsley, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt to the cokelek.
Mash and mix the mixture for 1 minute until it becomes spreadable.
Garnish with walnuts and serve with toasted bread.
💡 Tip: Adding the walnuts at the last moment preserves the spread's pleasantly chunky texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the cokelek spread cool as a mezze on toasted bread.
