Direcciones
- In food processor,combine all ingredients except olive oil. Pulse on and off until mixture is coarsely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until mixture is creamy (for a spread, you might use a little less, for a dip the full amount should be right).Adjust seasoning, adding more salt and/or pepper as desired.
- Transfer puree to bowl and use as spread on crostini (slice French or Italian bread 1/3" thick, arrange on baking sheet and brush with a little olive oil, bake at 375 about 15 minutes until lightly golden) or as dip for toasted pita bread wedges (brush 1/8 pieces of pita with oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little dried oregano, bake at 400 for about 8 minutes, turn and bake another 8 minutes until crisp and golden).
- The puree and the toasted bread or pita can be made up to a day ahead; store puree in refrigerator and breads airtight at room temperature.
