Green Olive and Almond Spread Recipe

Green Olive and Almond Spread Recipe

  • 1/2 cup pitted briny green olives
  • 1/4 cup Marcona almonds or other almonds, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  1. Combine olives, almonds, tarragon and lemon juice in a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped. Add oil in a steady stream and process just until the oil is absorbed. (Alternatively, finely chop the olives, almonds and tarragon by hand and combine with lemon juice and oil in a medium bowl.) The spread should have a coarse but easily spoonable texture. Let stand for about 30 minutes for the flavor to develop.
