Portuguese Green Olive Dip Zwt 8


Found at leite's culinaria when i went in search of spanish olive recipes. David leite is the author of the new portuguese table cookbook & says he serves this as a dip w/crudités, alongside crackers or bread or as a topping for grilled fish. He also said don’t make this in a food proc. The bowls of most proc are too lrg to allow the scant amt of ingredients to whip up to the right consistency. A sml narrow blender (or a mini chop or handheld blender) works best. I noted that 1 reviewer solved this issue by doubling the recipe & was glad she did since it was so popular w/her guests. I hope it will be equally well-received by you. (both yield & times have been estimated) *enjoy!*"!

Steps


Add the 1 / 3 cup milk , anchovies , garlic , 2 / 3 of the cilantro + the pepper to a blender & pulse to combine.
W / the motor running , pour the oil in what the portuguese call a fio.
Keep whirring until the oil is incorporated & the mixture thickens.
Scrape the dip into a serving bowl & stir in the olives.
Mince the remaining cilantro , sprinkle on top & serve.
If the dip thickens , stir in a tbsp or 2 of milk.
