Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green olives, pitted and drained
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and drained
- 1 cup Giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables), drained
- 0.5 cup Roasted red bell peppers, drained
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Add the green olives, Kalamata olives, giardiniera, roasted red bell peppers, and capers to a food processor.
Pulse the mixture a few times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process, as the spread should have a slightly chunky texture.
Transfer the chopped mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over the olive mixture and stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, stir the spread once more. Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, fresh bread, or as a topping for sandwiches and antipasto platters.
