I have shared I watch a lot of the Food Network, and I really enjoy The Kitchen. They shared a really simple recipe for an olive spread that I thought I would try (especially since I had everything in the pantry or fridge-bonus).Olives, both green and Kalamata, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
About a cup of both olives, drained.
Three cloves of garlic.
Oh, oregano–a generous amount of oregano, lemon juice as well (I didn’t put in a lot). Put all into a blender or food processor. Add enough olive oil to keep it creamy. I started with about 1 tablespoon, and ended up added another 2 teaspoons.
You can use this on fish, chicken, or as a spread on toast or crackers. Super yummy. And, yes, you will need to add just a bit of salt. I doubted it at first, and then ended up adding it in later.
Enjoy.
