Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green olives (pitted)
- 2 tablespoons Capers (rinsed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 medium Garlic clove (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Place the green olives, capers, fresh parsley, and minced garlic in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
Pulse the mixture a few times until the ingredients are coarsely chopped. Avoid over-blending to maintain a slightly chunky texture.
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Pulse a few more times to combine all ingredients evenly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil to achieve your desired flavor and consistency.
Transfer the relish to a serving bowl or airtight container. It can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to one week for enhanced flavor.
