Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces stale French or Italian bread
1 tablespoon chopped coriander
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
6 cloves garlic
Salt
5 to 6 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Remove the toughest part of the crust, then cut the bread into cubes the size of a lump of sugar.
  • Crush the herbs and garlic to a paste with a little salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and some water (about 2 tablespoons). This can also be done in a food processor, with a tablespoon of oil added. Put the herb paste in a warm terrine, with the olive oil and bread cubes.
  • Pour on the boiling water and stir until the bread softens to a jellied pap. It should be lumpier and more undulating than bread sauce; do not stir it too vigorously. Add more water if you like, as it should not be too thick. Season to taste.
