5 tablespoons capers, drained
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Directions
Combine all ingredients, except the olive oil, in the bowl of a food processor.
Process until a thick paste forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and pulse several times to combine.
