How to Make Olive Spread

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 4 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
  2. With the food processor running on low speed, gradually add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture reaches a desired grainy consistency. Don't add too much oil; you want it spreadable but not runny.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for acidity, salt to taste, or additional red pepper flakes for heat.
  4. Transfer the olive spread to a serving bowl.
  5. Serve immediately with slices of crusty baguette or your favorite crackers.
