Wonderful olive spread with a few twists to make it special. The mint lifts the yummy-level and the cilantro is surprizing.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups of pitted black olives, plump ones
  • 1 1/2 cups of cracked green olives
  • 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablesoons of fresh chopped mint
  • freshly ground black papper to taste
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of sherry wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of balsalmic vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil for blending
  • extra virgin olive oil to top the jar for storage

Directions
  1. Rinse the olives thoroughly in running water. Taste the olives and if they are very salty; let them stand in warm water for two hours, drain.
  2. Dry on paper towels.
  3. Remove pits and chop coarsely.
  4. Place olives, cilantro, garlic, mint, peppers, and sherry vinegar and balsalmic vinegar in a food processor.
  5. Process until you have a homgeneous paste, then with the motor running, slowly add the four tablespoons of olive oil.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more pepper and balsalmic as needed.
  7. Transfer olive paste to a jar and top with a little virgin olive oil to completely cover the top. Place in refrigerator at least one day to mellow the olive paste.
  8. Use as a spread on toasted bread.
  9. This is wonderful spread on chicken breasts and baked and served with a bed of sauteed tri-color peppers and crumbled feta. Not just a bread spread.
