Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp baby capers, rinsed
  • 2 tbsp thyme, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp rosemary, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp orange rind, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

Put the garlic, capers, thyme, rosemary, orange rind and balsamic vinegar in a food processor and pulse until well blended.

Add the olives and walnuts and pulse to a coarse paste. Slowly pour in the oil, pulsing as you go, until ingredients are well combined, but not a smooth paste - you may not need all the oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

Note

• You can prepare this recipe 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.
