Ingredients
- 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon coarse-grain mustard
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon chopped pitted green olives, such as Manzanilla
- ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium skillet cook bell pepper and onion over medium 4 to 6 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add vinegar and garlic. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more or until most of the liquid is evaporated. Whisk in mustard. Cool 5 minutes.
- Transfer pepper mixture to a food processor. Add ½ cup of the parsley, the oregano, olives, crushed red pepper (if using), and 2 tablespoons water. Process until slightly smooth. Stir in the remaining ½ cup parsley.
