Green Olive & Almond Spread
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup pitted briny green olives
- 1/4 cup Marcona almonds or other almonds, toasted (see Ingredient Note and Kitchen Tip)
- 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
DIRECTIONS
- Combine olives, almonds, tarragon and lemon juice in a food processor.
- Pulse until roughly chopped.
- Add oil in a steady stream and process just until the oil is absorbed.

- The spread should have a coarse but easily spoonable texture.
- Let stand for about 30 minutes for the flavor to develop.
