This black olive paté is a savoury paste made from olives, garlic, onions and walnuts. It is the perfect appetiser and it is delicious on some toasted bread or bruschetta or as a dip.
First, chop onion and garlic finely. Then heat up some olive oil and water in a pan and sauté for 5/10 minutes until translucent and soft. For an oil free version, swap oil for vegetable stock.
Transfer to a blender or food processor. Add olives, walnuts, salt, pepper and mixed herbs. Blend until a smooth and uniform paste is formed.
Serve immediately or place in a container to store. I served it with some homemade bread triangles. I cute bread slices in triangles and I baked them in the oven for 5/10 minutes at 200C until nice and golden.
