Sauces perfectly complement dishes, making their taste richer and more interesting. Such a "little thing" can become a real link, effectively uniting all the elements on the plate. If you want to surprise your guests, add a Mediterranean touch to your meal with Greek Black Olive Sauce.
It is necessary
- - 300 g of black canned olives (preferably pitted);
- - 1 large bell pepper;
- - 1 chili pepper;
- - juice of ½ lemon;
- - 4 cloves of garlic;
- - a bunch of parsley;
- - blender.
Instructions
Step 1
Separate the olives from the marinade / brine. Cut them in half, remove the seeds. Watch carefully so that none are left: after crushing it will be very difficult to detect and extract from the dark mass. Place the chopped black olives in a blender.
Step 2
Cut both bell peppers and chili peppers. Chop them small and add to the chopped olives. Place parsley leaves, a few cloves of garlic and the juice of half a lemon there.
Step 3
Grind all ingredients until smooth. Try the product you received. Be careful: if the olives were in a saturated brine, the sauce will turn out to be very salty. Correct this situation with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add them to the mass and mix everything again in a blender.
