How to Make Easy Olive Caper Relish

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1/2 cup capers (drained), 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley in a food processor.
  2. Pulse the ingredients using on/off turns until coarsely chopped – be careful not to over-process and create a paste. You want to retain some texture.
  3. Transfer the relish to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
  4. Serve chilled and enjoy! This relish is delicious on crostini, with grilled fish or chicken, or as a flavorful condiment for sandwiches and salads.
