olivada

Turn on a food processor, and toss the garlic then the herbs through feed tube. Turn the motor off, add the olives and capers, then pulse a couple of times. Run the motor again, while slowly adding the olive oil. You're done!

if your olives have pits: Place the olives in a rimmed baking sheet, and use the heel of your palm to smash all of the olives. It will now be easy to separate out the pits.
