Categories     Spreads

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese or neufchatel, room temperature
3 oz (about half a jar) gr olives, drained - save juice - rough chopped
2-3 oz (2-3 tbsp) saved olive juice, more or less to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Whip the cream cheese, with electric mixer, until smooth.
  • 2. Add the olive juice a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want the cream cheese smooth, easy to spread, but not runny, so you may not use all of the reserved juice.
  • 3. Stir in olives. If you can, allow to stand for 15-20 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve with crackers (I like triskets)

This is the easiest recipe ever! It's so addictive too. Great for potlucks, buffets, etc. It literally takes minutes to make, but does need a couple hours to chill. Cook time is chill time.

GREEN OLIVE SPREAD

Categories     Olive     Side

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup whole milk; more if needed
12 large oil-packed anchovy fillets
2 small cloves garlic, smashed
16 fresh cilantro sprigs, coarsely chopped
Freshly ground white pepper
1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
1-1/3 cups pitted brined green olives, rinsed if particularly salty, coarsely chopped
1 baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick and toasted

Steps:

  • Purée the milk, anchovies, garlic, cilantro, and a pinch of pepper in a blender. With the motor running, slowly pour the oil through the feed hole in the blender cap. Scoop the spread into a serving bowl, cover with plastic, and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 3 days. Just before serving, stir in the olives. The spread will thicken a bit more when the olives are added. If it thickens too much, thin it with a bit of milk. Serve with the toasted baguette slices.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm green olives for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the olives and almonds by hand.
  • Add more or less lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve the spread immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Enjoy the spread on crackers, bread, or vegetables as a snack or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Green olive spread is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for parties and potlucks, or as a simple snack or appetizer. With its salty, briny flavor and creamy texture, green olive spread is sure to please everyone at your table.
