Preparation Steps

• Start by draining the olives and rinsing them under cold water to remove any excess brine or salt.
• In a food processor, combine the black olives, capers, sundried tomatoes, parsley, peeled garlic cloves, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil.
• Process the ingredients in the food processor until they are finely chopped and well combined. You can adjust the texture to your liking by pulsing the mixture for a shorter or longer time.
• Once the spread is blended to your desired consistency, taste it and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice for acidity, extra olive oil for richness, or salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
• Transfer the homemade olive spread to a serving bowl or jar. Serve it as a delicious appetizer alongside toasted crostini, crackers, or fresh vegetables. It also makes a delightful topping for grilled bread, sandwiches, or as a flavorful addition to salads.
