Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 1 cup Green olives, pitted
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves
- 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons Capers, drained
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the Kalamata olives, green olives, and sun-dried tomatoes into a food processor.
Add the fresh parsley, minced garlic, capers, and lemon juice to the food processor.
Pulse the ingredients a few times to break them down and combine the flavors.
Drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to pulse until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, pulse less; for a smoother spread, pulse more.
Season with the ground black pepper and pulse one final time to incorporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, but avoid adding salt as the olives and capers are naturally salty.
Transfer the olive spread to a serving dish and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
