Olivi paradiso (black olive paste)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Black Calamata olives
2 Cloves garlic; minced
⅔ cup Italian parsley; chopped
5 larges Sprigs of fresh rosemary; stems removed
3 larges Sprigs fresh thyme; stems removed
⅓ cup Olive oil
1 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Pit the olives. Place olive between thumb and forefinger and squish. This takes a while but you will move quickly along the curve. Place olives and all other ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree into a coarse mixture. Notes: Although no salt is added, the natural composition of Calamata olives makes this appetizer quite salty. If you are using a blender to puree, you may need to add some extra oil to facilitate blending. After blending, place in a bowl. Excess oil will rise to the edges of the bowl. Drain off. Keep refrigerated. Yield: 6 to 8 appetizer servings CHEF DU JOUR BOB BLUMER SHOW #DJ 9283 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #816 by Holly Butman <butma001@...> on Sep 28, 1997
