Total Prep Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup button mushrooms, halved
1 red pepper
½ cup pitted black olives
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
sea salt and black pepper
Directions
Broil the red pepper whole, turning a few times, until the skin turns black. Transfer to a bowl and cover with cling wrap for a few minutes. Remove blackened skins, cut and seed.
In a food processor, pulse all ingredients until they have a coarse texture. Do not over process. It is best to let the flavors develop for at least half an hour before use.
