This recipe is Spanish and makes a fabulous tapas snack, canapé or spread. The better the quality of the
ingredients, the more delicious it becomes.

Serve on toasted bread which, while still hot, has been rubbed with a freshly cut clove of garlic, sprinkled with salt, and brushed with olive oil.

Ingredients

  • 60g (2oz) marinated pitted black olives, packed in olive oil
  • 30g (1oz) tinned tuna fish in olive oil, drained
  • 30g (1oz) tinned anchovies in olive oil, drained
  • a pinch dried thyme
  • a few fresh almonds, skinned and crushed
  • extra virgin olive oil to taste
  • toast or croûtes to serve
  • for garnish: a few capers, rinsed

 

Method

  1. Place the first six ingredients in a large bowl, and blitz with the hand blender, scraping the sidesof the bowl down well.
  2. Add a little extra virgin olive oil if necessary.
  3. Whiz to a thick cream.


For canapés, cut the toast into small squares and spread the paste onto them. Garnish each with a caper and a sprig of parsley.

Alternatively, press the mixture into a little china dish, put some capers and chopped parsley on top and serve with the toast.
