Boil the dried tomatoes in 1/8 l water covered and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Leave to cool in the liquid. Do not cook soft tomatoes.
Coarsely chop the nuts and roast them lightly without fat. Let them cool down. Peel onion and chop finely. Wash the chives, cut them into small rolls and put some aside for garnishing. Drain tomatoes if necessary and cut into very fine strips.
Mix butter, nuts, onion, chives, paprika and tomato paste. Finely dice and mix in the camembert, crushing the cheese with a fork. Season to taste with pepper and possibly a little salt.
Arrange and sprinkle with the rest of the chives.
