Ingredients

  • 1/4 cups Lemon-infused Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cups Basil Marinated Green Olives
  • 1 teaspoon Capers
  • 2 whole Anchovy Fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoons Ground Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoons Garlic, Minced
  • 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Zest (Optional, See Note)
  • 2 Tablespoons Basil Leaves, Minced (Optional, See Note)

Method

  • Notes: If lemon-infused olive oil is not available, substitute regular olive oil and add in 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest.
  • If basil-marinated green olives are not available, substitute jarred green olives and add in 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil.
  • In a food processor, combine all ingredients.
  • Pulse until all ingredients are minced finely and almost paste-like, about five 2-second pulses.
  • Scrape down sides and pulse again if necessary, to ensure all pieces are uniform in size.
  • Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for later use.
  • Stir before serving to redistribute olive oil.
  • Wonderful on sliced bread for an appetizer.
