In a food processor place 1 garlic clove (peeled), 3 anchovy fillets (I like the white ones), the juice of 1 lemon and 1 tbsp capers. Whizz till finely chopped. Now add 1 cup pitted black olives and ¼ cup olive oil. Whizz again till it has achieved the desired consistency (either finely chopped or creamy).

You can also use a mortar and pestle instead of the food processor.

Other variations include adding ½ cup sundried tomatoes, replacing the black olives with green olives, and omitting the anchovies for a vegan version.
