Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Manzanilla green olives with pimentos
- 0.25 cup Capers
- 1 medium Roasted red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Drain the green olives and capers to remove excess brine. Rinse the capers under cold water to mellow their saltiness, if desired.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the green olives, capers, and chopped roasted red bell pepper.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until emulsified.
4. Pour the olive oil mixture over the olive, caper, and red pepper mix. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
5. If using fresh parsley, gently fold it into the mix for an added layer of freshness.
6. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes before using to let the flavors meld together.
7. Serve as a topping for rice dishes, mix it into stews, or enjoy as a standalone condiment. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
