Ingredients
- ½ cup pitted briny green olives
- ¼ cup Marcona almonds or other almonds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon or ½ teaspoon dried
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
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.
Make ahead tip: cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
