Preparation

1. Soak the bread in water for 5 minutes. Squeeze the bread out to remove excess water and discard any hard parts. Place half of the bread in a food processor with the onion, garlic, chili pepper and half of the parsley. Process until reduced to a paste. Add the remaining parsley, bread, lemon juice, salt and half of the olive oil. With the machine running, slowly add the remaining olive oil and vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Scrape the spread into a bowl and garnish with the olives.
