Olive Relish

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small red onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 jars green olives with pimentos drained
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano or 3 Tbsp fresh
  • 2 teaspoon dried parsley or 2 Tbsp fresh
  • 2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 jar kalamara olives drained
  • 1 jar regular Giardiniera drained
  • 1 jar hot Giardiniera drained
  • 1 jar pepperoncini drained
  • 1 jar capers drained (optional)
  • 1 cup pickled Jalapenos (optional)
  • Olive oil to the right consistancy

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, chop the onion and garlic first to the desired size. Then add the green olives to the food processor and chop to the desired size.
  • Add the seasonings to blend through.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, processing in batches until it is all done – if you would like the pieces larger, don’t fill the processor past half way.
  • Put the processed relish in a large bowl and mix the ingredients together, then add the olive oil and mix, repeating until the mix reaches the desired consistency.
  • Taste and add more black pepper if needed (there should be plenty of salt!)
  • Pack the relish into the empty jars and top with some olive oil to prevent oxidation on the top.
