Start with 2 heaping tablespoons of Fatima.

Grate 1 lemon until it becomes liquid.

Grate an onion until it is liquidy, ensuring no pieces remain.

Mix the lemon and onion until the mixture turns white.

Soak 5 or 6 slices of bread in water and then squish out all the water.

Add the soaked bread to the mixture and continue mixing.

Slowly add about 1 cup of lighter oil to the mixture, mixing continuously.

Taste the mixture; if it's too salty, add more oil to balance it.

Once creamy and sweet, transfer to a serving dish and decorate with capers and a few drops of olive oil.
