Maltese Arjoli Dip
Arjoli is a rich herby savoury dip, traditionally served with snails. Although, it can be enjoyed just with bread or fresh veggies.
Ingredients
- 150 g galletti (water biscuits) or day old bread
- 1 white onion small
- 4 garlic cloves or more
- 8 large green olives
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 1 tsp capers
- 80 g tomato paste
- 30 ml white vinegar or water
- 120 ml olive oil
- 1/3 cup mint
- 1/2 cup parlsey
- 1 tbsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Crush the galletti or the bread in a food processor to make breadcrumbs. Mix in the vinegar (or water) and let them sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a food processor add all the other ingredients except the olive oil. Pulse until everything is finely chopped and almost paste like.
- Add the soaked galletti or bread together with the olive oil to the mixture. Blend together until a paste forms. Add more oil if the consistency is too thick.
- Serve with more galletti or bread on the side, fresh vegetables and snails.
