How to prepare Black olive pâté

To prepare the olive pâté, start by pitting the olives one by one 1, place them in a blender 2, and blend until you get a smooth mixture 3.

Add the extra virgin olive oil in a thin stream 4 until you obtain a smooth and sufficiently compact cream 5. Your pâté is ready to be served. You can enjoy it on crunchy crostini: to prepare them, simply slice the bread, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with a little oil, and toast it in the oven on grill mode for 2 minutes, turning it halfway through to toast it evenly. You can spread the black olive pâté on hot bread with a drizzle of oil cooked in the oven until it turns golden brown 6.
