Description

A bold and briny spread made from olives, capers, garlic, and herbs—perfect for serving with bread, crackers, or as a zesty condiment.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup pitted green olives
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add Kalamata olives, green olives, capers, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper to a food processor.
  2. Pulse several times until coarsely chopped.
  3. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the mixture is finely chopped and spreadable, but not a paste.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Use high-quality olives for the best flavor.
  • Add anchovy fillets or sun-dried tomatoes for variation.
  • Great as a spread, pasta toss-in, or topping for grilled meats or fish.
