Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Capers (rinsed and drained)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Place the pitted Kalamata olives, capers, minced garlic, and fresh parsley in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
Pulse the mixture a few times to chop the ingredients coarsely.
Add the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture on low speed until it reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Avoid over-processing; the texture should remain slightly chunky to highlight the flavors.
Taste the caviar and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, by adding a pinch of salt or more lemon juice.
Transfer the Kalamata caviar to a serving dish or airtight container.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables, or refrigerate for up to 3 days for later use.
