Instead of buying sandwich spreads at the supermarket – which are filled with artificial preservatives and other synthetic additives that are harmful to health in the long run – why not make them yourself? This three olive spread is the perfect addition to sandwiches or dip for crackers and bread sticks.

Ingredients:
1 pc garlic cloves, chopped
1 ¾ c olives ( black, green, green with pimiento)
1 pc anchovy fillet
2 T capers
¼ tsp dried thyme leaves
3 T lemon juice
6 T olive oil
To taste salt and pepper
Procedure:
Combine garlic, olives, anchovies, thyme and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. You can also use a mortar and pestle or chop all the ingredients finely.
Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing the mixture until a paste is formed.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place in an airtight container until ready to use. You can spread this on crackers or crusty bread when the need arises.
