This is very different from anything I've made before. It was fun to make and good to eat. I added 2 slices of white bread as mine were small. I'm wondering if croutons would work for this? It kinda looks like anchovy mush but the red onion and herbs save it. I didn't have fresh marjoram so I put 1 tsp dried. I did everything else according to the recipe. I served it with french bread.
