Olivi Paradiso
(adapted from Surreal Gourmet)

2 cups Kalmata (Greek) olives (do not use regular black olives!)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2/3 cup Italian parsley, chopped

5 large sprigs of fresh rosemary, stems removed

3 large sprigs fresh thyme, stems removed

1/3 cup olive oil

1 tsp. freshly ground pepper.

1. Pit olives. Even better, buy them pitted.

2. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until all becomes a course mixture.

Err on the generous side of herb portions.  This is not an exact recipe, so feel free to adjust to your taste. This sauce is wonderful as a dip on crackers, as a base for brushetta or pizza. Goes great with goat cheese too...
