Preparation: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 clove Garlic, crushed

  • 250g Pitted Black Olives, chopped

Method

Depending on whether you prefer a coarse or smooth texture, either mix everything together and transfer to an airtight container or put everything except the oil into a food processor and blend until smooth.

Then add enough of the oil to make a paste, blend again briefly to mix and transfer the mixture to an airtight container.

Top with any remaining oil.
