Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Combine all Olives in a food processor.
Add all Aromatics to the food processor.
Pulse until coarsely chopped. Do not over-process; you want some texture.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the Olive oil until combined.
Stir in the Lemon juice and Black pepper.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for brightness or olive oil for smoothness.
