This is a simple, vegetarian spread —similar to an olive tapenade without the anchovies and herbs. It is nice with heated bread or crackers, or in a sandwich with tuna or vegetables.

Ingredients

20 black, pitted, Kalamata olives
20 green with pimento olives
20 capers
1 clove garlic
1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
black pepper

With the mini-chop attachment for our immersion blender, we combine the olives, capers, and garlic. We pulse, scraping down the mixture a few times with a spoon. When it is coarsely puréed, we put in a ramekin and stir in the oil. We taste for seasoning and add some freshly ground black pepper. We serve with bread and refrigerate the leftovers.
