Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green olives (pitted)
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the pitted green olives, fresh parsley leaves, and garlic clove.
Pulse the mixture a few times to roughly chop the ingredients.
Add the lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, ground cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper to the processor.
Blend the mixture on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary, until you achieve a chunky yet spreadable consistency.
If the dip is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with an extra splash of olive oil for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh-cut vegetables. Enjoy!
