OLIVADA

Steps:

• Use your best judgement when making this. Start with the olives, garlic, walnuts, and parmesan and whir in the food processor. Add the olive oil at a slow drizzle until you reach a spread consistency. Your paste actually should look more like TV snow than the matte grey in my picture (I tried using sunflower seeds instead). Add salt and pepper a little at a time, whir some more, taste it, and adjust as necessary. The end effect is an olive spread, with a tangy flavor and a slightly grainy texture. Serve on toast (sliced sandwich loaf for a snack, sliced baguette for a party). It tastes better the next day.
