Olive Dip? image

I'm not sure why this recipe is titled as a dip. It was given to me by a co-worker. It's always a hit for people who love olives. I usually serve it as a spread. The secret to this recipe is using Unico's olives & marinated artichoke hearts and to refrigerate overnight.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups pimento stuffed olives, drained
1 cup pitted black olives, drained
6 fluid ounces marinated artichoke hearts, undrained
1 hot banana pepper
1 sweet red pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Remove seeds & dice the red pepper.
  • Remove seeds & dice the hot banana pepper. We love spicy foods, so I don't discard the seeds.
  • In a food processor, gently blend olives and artichoke hearts to a medium chopped consistency.
  • Add the hot banana pepper, red pepper, garlic and basil.
  • Dizzle olive oil & lemon juice over the mixture.
  • Gentley blend to a finely chopped consistency.
  • Transfer to a bowl, and refrigerate overnight. It's really important to follow this step, I've learned this from experience.
  • Serve with fresh baguette thinly sliced and/or crackers.
