I have used this recipe many times since first printing it out in Sept 2010. This is great on its own and I have added different ingredients for other variations. My favorite being, roasted red peppers and hot curry paste for a extra spicy version. Roasted vegetables also make for a great flavor. As for the thick texture, I just drizzle in more olive oil with the processor running until it smooths out. Rachel Rocks!
