Ingredients
-
2 oz black olives
3 oz green olives
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 anchovy fillets, rinsed and mashed or 1 t anchovy paste
2 T capers, rinsed
1 t olive oil
1/4 t black pepper, cracked
1/2 lemon, juiced
Tips
Many of its ingredients (anchovies, capers and olives) can be high in sodium, so cut some salt by rinsing them. Instead of buying a tin of anchovies, look for anchovy paste in the Italian aisle of your supermarket. This recipe costs $3.10--just 19 cents per serving.
Directions
Chop olives and mince garlic. Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Keep in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature before serving. Makes 2 cups. (2 tablespoons per serving)

These R the classic ingreds, but many Italians change it to taste. Try it as part of trad. antipasti: Platters of yummy little dishes w great bread. Give UR guests small plates, wine & permission to pick away at the dishes. They'll chat & have a great time for AGES while U finish the mains! :) - 10/14/12
