Vegetarians take notice! Here is what amounts to an fantastic amount of vegetables all perfectly blended and cook to make the prefect thick dip or spread. Now I am fortunate enough to have my good friend Rafi make this basically to "clean out the fridge" and I was the lucky recipient of it. It is his recipe and his preparation I just took it and paired it with some Kashcaval cheese flat bread with parsley and made a nice plating. Believe you me the best plating in the world wont make crap tasting food any better but this dip deserved to shine and well here it is if you vegetarian this is outstanding recipe for you.
