With the machine running, add in 1/2 c. of walnuts, 1/2 c. reserved pepper soaking liquid and 2 Tbsp. of salt. Process till smooth. Add in half of the crumbled cheese and process till smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Coarsely chop the remaining walnuts and add in them to the mix with the remaining cheese; salt and pepper to taste.
