Ingredients: | 2 heads garlic
1/2 lb pecorino romano cheese 1 large handful cilantro 2 tsp rue 2 heaping tsp chopped fresh celery leaf 1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar 1 Tbsp olive oil |
||
Preparation: | Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
Grate the cheese. Roughly chop the herbs. If you're using a mortar, the way Martial describes, you need to make it as though it were allioli, ie, start with the garlic and salt and pound it to a pulp, then add the cheese and herbs, then the liquids and mix them well. If you're using a food processor, add all the solid ingredients and process till smooth, then add the liquids. Either way, gather it up into a ball and chill it. Serve it with crusty bread. |
