Among all, this is is the absolute best Greek appetizer/dip and maybe the easiest one to prepare. I used Kalamata olives which are fleshy and have a rich almost black color. They combine a fruity taste with a wine flavor mostly because they are cured in red vinegar. I chose a pitted variety and that brought down preparation time to less than three minutes! I keep a small jar in the fridge and spread it on a sandwich with tomato and feta cheese, or just enjoy it with a glass of red wine and some cheese. Today I will spread some on a slice of bread and it will accompany the oven baked beans that I prepared for dinner. This is the true Mediterranean Food!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives (or any other kind of fleshy black olives)
- 1/4 of a clove of garlic, minced
- Few drops of Balsamic Vinegar
- Few drops of honey
Pulse the olives into the food processor until a smooth paste is created. Add garlic and few drops and Balsamic Vinegar and honey. Taste and add more, if needed. Keep refrigerated.
