Provided by Paula Wolfert

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Garlic     Leafy Green     Herb     Olive     Steam     Lemon     Spinach     Cilantro     Parsley

Yield Serves 6; makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large garlic cloves, halved
1 pound baby spinach leaves
1 large bunch of flat-leafed parsley (about 4 ounces), stems discarded
1/2 cup celery leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, stemmed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
12 oil-cured black olives (about 1 ounce), pitted, rinsed, and coarsely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons Spanish sweet smoked paprika (pimentón de la Vera)
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of ground cumin
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Crackers or semolina bread

Steps:

  • 1. Put the garlic cloves in a large steamer basket set over a pan of simmering water and top with the spinach, parsley, celery, and cilantro. Cover and steam until the garlic is soft and the greens are very tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze the greens dry, finely chop, and set aside. Using the back of a fork, mash the garlic cloves.
  • 2. In a medium cazuela set over a flame-tamer or in a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until shimmering. Add the mashed garlic, olives, paprika, cayenne, and cumin and stir over moderately high heat for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the greens and cook, mashing and stirring, until soft and dry and somewhat smooth, about 15 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Mash in the remaining olive oil. Refrigerate, closely covered, for at least 1 day and up to 4 days.
  • 4. To serve, return to room temperature. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Pack in a serving dish and serve with crackers or semolina bread .

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh herbs and citrus fruits.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of heat in the dish by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
  • If you don't have any olives, you can substitute another type of brine-cured vegetable, such as capers or pickles.
  • Serve the peppers and olives as an appetizer or snack, or use them as a side dish with grilled meats or fish.

Conclusion:

Citrus herb peppers, olives, and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is packed with flavor and can be easily customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
