  • About

“This makes a welcome spread for crostini or served with bread as an antipasto. The pâté can also be made with green olives, although the anchovies should then be replaced with ground almonds.”

Ingredients

  • 500 g firm black olives, pitted
  • 500 g salted capers, soaked and drained
  • 4

Method

Put all the ingredients except the oil into a liquidiser. With the motor running, add the oil a little at a time until you have a spreadable paste. No salt is necessary because the olives, capers and anchovies are already salted. If you do include the chilli, reduce the amount of black pepper.
