I went to a friends wedding in Spain and they served toasted bread with tomato and olive oil. I used that as my inspiration when I made something similar back home. Over the year this has been modified to an unrecognisable level but I have made this an untold amount of times throughout the years since, sometime I add tomatoes, sometimes not, but I can tell you that I miss it when it isn’t in the fridge…

Ingredients:

• ¼ Stick Softened Butter – Optional
• ¼ to ½ cup Olive Oil
• 1 tomato
• At least 5 cloves of finely minced garlic
• Basil – Finely chopped
• Oregano – Finely Chopped
• Chili – Finely chopped (Optional)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

I have substituted the herbs depending on what I was making, this works well with rosemary and thyme as well as just garlic, basil and tomato.

Directions:

1. I use a food processor, add all ingredients and blitz and add olive oil to get the consistency I want.

You can do this without a food processor but I would recommend adding all the herbs seasonings to a pestle and mortal prior to mixing with the butter and oil to ensure the ingredients are bruised enough to release their flavours.
