Ingredients:

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 3/4 cups whole, pitted Kalamata Olives

1 (2 oz ) can anchovy fillets, rinsed

2 tablespoons capers

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

3 tablespoons lemon juice

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 large can black olives without pits, chopped

Instructions: 

Combine garlic, kalamata olives, anchovies, capers, thyme, rosemary and lemon juice in an electric blender or food processor. Slowly drip the olive oil into the blender (processor) while you are blending the ingredients together. Blend until a paste is formed. Then add chopped black olives after the blending. This adds texture. Serve with pita bread.
