Finely chop the parsley, basil, green onions, and cilantro.

Step 3

Crush the garlic with a knife and chop it finely.

Step 4

Chop the walnuts in a food processor or, if you don't have one, place the nuts in a plastic bag and roll them out with a rolling pin.

Step 5

Cut the chili pepper in half, remove the seeds, and chop finely.

Step 6

In a deep dish, combine all the ingredients. Dress with wine vinegar and adjika. Season with salt to taste.

You can shape the mixture into balls, placing a pomegranate seed inside each one.
