Yield makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

500g stoned black Taggiasca or Niçoise olives
1 small sprig of fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 tbsp salted capers, rinsed
1 dried red chilli, crumbled
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ciabatta loaf, cut diagonally into 1cm thick slices
1 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half

Steps:

  • ▶ In a food processor, pulse-chop the olives with the thyme, capers and chilli. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the vinegar. Add the olive oil slowly, stirring by hand. Check the seasoning. The mixture should be thick enough to spread on a crostino. ▶ Grill the ciabatta slices on each side, then lightly rub one side only with the garlic clove. Spread the olive mixture over each slice and serve.
