List of Ingredients




1 thick slice (1 inch, 3 cm) rustic whole
wheat bread, crusts removed and soaked in water
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lb (450 g) fresh parsley, stems trimmed
1/3 cup (80 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbs (45 ml) lemon juice
1 tsp (5 ml) balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
Black olives for garnish

Recipe



Squeeze and discard the excess water from the bread and
combine the bread with the remaining ingredients except the olives in an electric blender or food processor. Process until a smooth paste is formed. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking with additional salt, pepper, lemon juice, or vinegar. Spoon into a serving bowl and arrange the olives on top. Serve with pita bread, raw vegetables, or crackers. Makes about 2 cups (500 ml).
