Ingredients

• 200 grams black olives (pitted)
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Rinse the black olives to remove excess brine, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 2

2. Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.

Step 3

3. Place the black olives, chopped garlic, olive oil, capers (if using), parsley, and lemon juice into a food processor or blender.

Step 4

4. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed. If you prefer a slightly chunky texture, pulse the ingredients in short bursts until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 5

5. Taste the pâté and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Adjust seasoning with additional lemon juice or a pinch of salt if desired, though the olives and capers are naturally salty.

Step 6

6. Transfer the black olive pâté to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprig of parsley or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
