slather 'em on a baguette. pile 'em on a cracker. spread it on a sandwich. eat it off a spoon. however you choose to spread these spreads, you can't lose. what i love most about these little numbers is how flavorful and fulfilling they are. i promise, if you serve these to your guests, no one will ever miss the cheese!
and the great thing? you just throw your ingredients into a food processor, blender, or whatever machine you have to your disposal, and away you go! how easy is that?
kalamata/garbanzo spread
