Ingredients
  

  • 100 gram black olives I have used Kalamata olives in this recipe.
  • 2 tablespoon capers
  • 2 anchovies
  • 1/2 clove garlic
  • 4 sprigs thyme fresh
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Chop the olives roughly. Add capers, anchovies, garlic, and thyme and continue chopping until you have a somewhat chunky paste.
  • Transfer to a pestle and mortar. Pound everything together while adding olive oil in small batches. Or, you can run everything in a food processor, if you are lazy.
  • Add some lemon juice and perhaps some black pepper.
