Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup green olives pitted and drained
- ¼ tsp anchovy paste* or capers
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a food processor (I love my mini one for this recipe!) add all the ingredients except the olive oil. Pulse until combined in a coarse crumb, then gently drizzle in olive oil until desired consistency is reached. You can make it as smooth as you'd like, however, it's best if not mushy, so leave a little bit of texture.
- Taste for salt level, then stir in additional salt and pepper to taste. You likely won't need much salt since the ingredients are pretty briny and salty themselves.
- Serve with baguette crisps, crackers, or veggies!

Notes
- Vegan & Vegetarian Option: you can replace the anchovy paste with 1/4 tsp (~7-8) capers that are rinsed. Otherwise, just omit the anchovies and add a bit of salt, to taste, to make up for the lack of salt that comes from the anchovies.
- This recipe makes approximately 1 cup of tapenade.
