Green Olive & Paprika Pepper Dip

Written by Published on Updated on May 31, 2019 in Appetizers

Hi everyone!!  So, I know I have posted a Olive spread before but I also wanted to share this little recipe with you.  I thought you might enjoy a Green Olive and Pepper  Dip because I  know I have mentioned before how much I love dips, spreads. 🙂

It is basically the same recipe as the last one I posted with a slight difference in taste.  The Green Olives tend to be bitter, so what I usually do is leave the Olives in slightly salted water overnight.  I know that there a small variety of Green Olives on the market that are not as bitter, so you would need to research to find out which ones are less bitter.  Otherwise, use my little trick with the salty water and you just might love this Dip just as much as you did the last one, that is if you tried out the recipe.  🙂

So, this is my last post for now as we are leaving.  I will be posting things that I think you might enjoy seeing while I am in Greece, 🙂 or you can drop in the comment box what it is you might like to see and if I can I will post it for you.

Ok everyone byeeee for now and I will be reading your posts when I have  Wi-Fi.  🙂

GREEN OLIVE & PAPRIKA PEPPER DIP

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 400 grams Green Olives pitted
  • 1/2 Paprika Pepper
  • 4 tablespoons of Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons of Salt
  • Water

Instructions
 

  • Leave Olives overnight in salted water. The following morning rinse a few times with fresh water and place into the food processor.
  • Continue by adding the pepper,
  • pour in the Olive Oil and beat until all the ingredients combine.
  • I added a bit more than just 1 Paprika Pepper so that is why it has more of an orange color, but if you add 1/2 of the Paprika Pepper then the Green color will dominate.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
