  • I used smoked Castelvetranos as they were the only ones I had, added a small clove if garlic and processed all ingredients in the Cuisinart to a coarse blend. Served w grilled ribeyes then used the leftovers the next day mixed w orzo and chèvre, both were excellent!

  • I made this to go with the Grilled Halibut Nicoise Salad and had a lot left over. It is just delicious! I did add a couple cloves of garlic. It's pretty addictive on top of woven Wheat crackers!
