Green Olive Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Put all ingredients, except olive oil in the food processor and pulse until chopped.
• Turn processor on low setting and gradually add olive oil until you get a grainy texture.
• I stop and start and scrape down the sides as I am going.
• I try to add as little oil as possible, but enough to hold the mixture together so it will spread nicely.
• Serve with slices of grainy baguette.
• This is wonderful and easy.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a food processor.
• Use on/off pulses about 5 times just so everything holds together, but is not pureed.
• Serve with pita bread wedges.
