olive pesto recipe

This pesto recipe, made with black olives, is perfect for spreading onto crostini for tasty nibbles with drink. Just picture yourself on a summer&#8217;s evening, Aperol spritz in hand&#8230;

Olive pesto

garlic

sea salt

pine nuts

pitted black olives

parsley

olive oil

Parmesan, finely grated

Put the garlic and sea salt into the bowl of a small food processor and pulse, then add the pine nuts and pulse again until roughly chopped (be careful not to over-process).

Add the black olives and flatleaf parsley and pulse carefully until well mixed but still very textured.

Turn into a bowl and stir through the extra-virgin olive oil and mix until you have a juicy paste, seasoning as you go.

With just 6 ingredients, 5 minutes and a food processor, this olive pesto is easy and delicious. Perfect with crostini as an appetiser recipe, it’s also wonderful mixed through pasta.

Olive Pesto

pitted Kalamata olives, lightly packed ((notes))

garlic, peeled

¼ cup flakes almonds

Place the olives, parsley, garlic, parmesan and almonds into a food processor and blitz until quite fine.

With the processor on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until all combined.

Check the texture and blitz to the smoothness you desire.

I used to be judgemental (haha) about olives many years ago, but I don't have any issues with them now. In fact, I love them in so many dishes from salads and appetizers to pasta. I've never tried an olive pesto though - this is such a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
