Description

This is an appetizer that will not disappoint. It sounds fancy, it only takes a few minutes to make in your food processor, and it is wonderful on sliced bread.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup Green Olives, Basil Marinated if possible*
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil, Lemon infused if possible*
  • 1 tsp Capers
  • 2 fillets Anchovies
  • 1/4 tsp minced Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Pepper
  • *1/2 tsp Lemon Zest, if infused olive oil is not available
  • *2 Tbsp minced Basil, if marinated olives are not available

Instructions

  1. Into food processor combine all ingredients**. Pulse until all ingredients are minced finely and almost paste-like. About 5 2-second pulses. Scrape down sides and pulse again if necessary, so all pieces are uniform in size.
  2. Serve immediately, or store in airtight container for later use. Stir before serving. Wonderful on sliced bread for an appetizer.

Notes

*If infused olive oil is not available – use regular olive oil and add in 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest to mixture*
*If basil marinated green olives are not available – use jarred green olives and add in 2 Tbsp fresh minced basil leaves*
