Rich, briny, and deeply savory, this Provençal-style spread is the kind of thing you'll want to keep in the fridge at all times. Kalamata olives, capers, anchovies, and fresh herbs come together in a food processor to create a coarse, intensely flavored paste that works beautifully on crusty bread, crackers, crostini, or spooned over grilled fish and roasted vegetables. The whole thing comes together in minutes with just a handful of real, whole ingredients — no fillers, no preservatives, and none of the synthetic antioxidants like BHA and BHT that sneak into so many jarred spreads and processed condiments on store shelves. Fresh lemon juice and zest brighten the deep olive flavor, while a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil pulls the texture into something silky but still satisfyingly rustic. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, you have complete control over exactly what goes into the bowl. It's the kind of recipe that makes you wonder why you ever reached for the store-bought version in the first place.
