• 40g black olives, stones removed
• Garlic, to taste
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• Coriander or flat-leaved parsley leaves, to taste
• 1 small preserved lemon, roughly chopped
• 2-3 tbsps juice from the preserved lemon
• 50ml olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

1. Mix all of the ingredients and blend with a stick blender or in a food processor until the desired smoothness has been achieved.
2. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little extra olive oil or more juice from the preserved lemon
3. Serve, sprinkled with paprika and a little olive oil.

Serving suggestions

Serve as a dip or spread onto some bread or toast.

Chaf's noted

This is probably best made using a stick blender as you need to keep tasting as you go.
