Olive Paste Recipe
Ingredients
| Black olives | 1 pound, drained | |
| Garlic | 2 Clove (5gm), finely chopped | |
| 5 anchovy fillets, soaked in 1/4 cup milk for 1/2 hour, drained and coarsely chopped | ||
| Extra virgin olive oil | 1/4 Cup (16 tbs) | |
Directions
Combine olives, garlic, and anchovies in a blender or food processor, discarding the milk.
Slowly add the oil and blend until the mixture is finely chopped.
This should not be a smooth paste as there should be some texture to it.
Ideally, this should be made 24 hours ahead.
Remove from the refrigerator and allow it to warm up a bit before serving.
