This is SO good! I made it just to have on hand as a snack with baguette slices. Followed recipe exactly and everything was perfect.

I love the intense flavors over the other spreads I have made. I have a jar of mashed garlic cloves that I used rather than roasting a fresh clove. Next time I will do that because I am sure it will taste even better. In any regard, my guests devoured this spread faster than the other foods on my buffet. Hope you enjoy it as well.
