Pure Di Olive Nere (Black Olive Paste)
Ingredients
18 oz Black olives in brine

1/2 cup Olive oil

Grated zest & juice of 1 - lemon

10 Grindings of black pepper

1 tbsp Fresh breadcrumbs

1 pinch Salt

Preparation
Put all the ingredients in a blender or in a food processor & blend. You may leave the paste chunky or proceed to make a smooth paste. Leave to mellow for several hours before serving. The olive paste will keep for weeks under a 1/4" layer of olive oil in a tightly covered container kept in the refrigerator.
