Preparation

Step 1

Add all the ingredients except oil to your food processor and pulse it a few times. Slowly add the oil and whir it up until it has a nice consistency. I prefer mine to have a light texture not completely smooth. If you are freezing this, pour some oil over the top before sealing the lid. It will keep for a few months in the freezer.
