(Muffuletta magic spread)
Ingredients
1 can black olives
1 ½ cups Green olives stuffed with garlic and jalapeno (about half a Costco jar)
1 ½ cups Giardiniera (about half a jar worth)
3 Tbs Capers
1 small jar pimentos
2 stalks of celery roughly chopped
1 cup of olive oil
¼ cup of red wine vinegar
2 tbs chopped garlic
2 tbs oregano
2 tbs parsley
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a food processer and pulse until desired consistency. I prefer very small chunks which makes for easier spreading and more even distribution.
Options:
While I use this primarily for Muffuletta, it has many other applications. It is delicious on any sandwich. You can also use it over chicken, pork chops, or mix it with some cream cheese and stuff into an omelet or a grilled cheese. Stuff it into celery or deviled egg mixtures. Add to hummus. The list is endless.
The Story:
Had this a long while back on muffuletta, albeit with slightly different ingredients and roughly chopped, so I changed things up based on what I have and prefer and blitzed it most thoroughly in my food processor instead of just the rough chop. It is so much for versatile that way. Store in the fridge for many weeks
