Ingredients

• 4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
• 2 1/2 c large green pitted olives, such as Sicilia (3/4 lb)
• 2 T capers, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 c EVOO
• 8 large slices of crusty bread

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400. In a food processor, process the garlic, olives, capers and olive oil to a coarse paste.

Toast the bread on the oven rack for 6 mins, or until crisp and browned. Spread the olive paste thickly over the toasts and serve.

Make ahead: The olive paste can be refrigerated for 2 days. Let return to room temperature before using.
