Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). Drain and place in food processor. Add other ingredients and pulse food processor until everything is chopped, then blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more olive oil until the desired consistency is reached.
