Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted black olives
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the pitted black olives and raisins in a food processor or blender.
Add the garlic clove, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh rosemary to the food processor.
Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth, thick paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly processed.
Taste the paste and add salt and black pepper according to your preference. Give it a quick pulse to mix.
If the texture is too thick, add a bit more olive oil, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the paste to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or warm bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
