This recipe was given to me by a coworker for the holidays. It is best when made with olives purchased at a deli. Serve with your favorite cracker, baguettes or thin italian bread slices.

An easy and great tasting appetizer. You can not just have one.... You will have garlic breathe when you are finished, but it's worth it.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup green olives, drained
1/2 cup black olives, drained
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 -2 clove garlic, mashed (to your taste)
1/4 cup olive oil

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.

I LOVE OLIVES AND CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

I Love Olives and Cream Cheese Spread image

What's not to love? This is an easy make-ahead appetizer that takes 15 minutes to prepare and is so yummy it will be gone 15 minutes after you set it on the table. Pitted black olives and pimiento-stuffed Spanish/Manzanilla olives make it look as colorful as it is delicious. Serve it with crackers or crispinis. I also use it as a sandwich spread...it really spruces up a plain old cold-cut or deli sandwich.
