Ingredients 2 medium potatoes 4 bread slices(crust removed) 1/2 cup mixed nuts (almond and walnuts) 8 cloves of garlic 1 small Onion 3 Tbsp chopped olives 1 Tbsp chopped jalapeno peppers 1 cup extra virgin olive oil 4-5 Tbsp lime juice Salt and black pepper (to taste) Wash, boil, peel and mash the potatoes. Soak the bread in water, then squeeze out as much water as possible. Combine the bread, potatoes, peeled onion, peeled garlic and nuts in a food processor, until it becomes a smooth paste. While the blade is still running, pour olive oil in a thin stream. Stop when you think it's sufficient. Put the paste in a bowl and add salt, freshly ground black pepper, lime juice (to taste), chopped olives and jalapeno. Serve with toasted pitta bread or crudites as a dip.
