3 Sultry Summer Dips
by Jessie Daye
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 × 100 g (3½ oz) slices sourdough bread torn into small chunks
- 2 garlic cloves crushed or finely chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 350 g (12½ oz) goat cheese
- 100 g (3½ oz) fennel salami thinly sliced
- 120 g (4½ oz) pitted green olives torn or sliced
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the torn sourdough and fry until golden and crispy.
- Add garlic and lemon zest to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- On a wide plate or shallow bowl, spread the goat cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and add a bit more lemon zest if desired.
- Scatter the crispy bread over the cheese. Add the olives, then fold or drape the salami artfully on top.
- Garnish with extra herbs (such as thyme, chives, or parsley), lemon zest, or a drizzle of herb oil. Serve with a chilled citrusy white wine.
