Ingredients
1/2 pound kalamata olives, pitted and rinsed with cold water
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup olive oil
Preparation
Put everything except the olive oil into a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil. The mixture should have a little texture, not be quite completely smooth. You shouldn’t need to add salt, as the ingredients are very salty.
