Ingredients
- 8-oz. jar oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 8 oz. good-quality green olives, pitted and drained
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 Tbs. lemon juice
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for filling jars
Preparation
Pour tomatoes and their packing oil in food procesor. Add olives and garlic, and pulse on/off until mixture is consistency of relish, with olives and tomatoes in uniform small bits. (Don’t overprocess, or it will turn muddy.) Transfer relish to bowl, and stir in lemon juice and 1/2 cup oil.
Loosely spoon mixture into 3 half-pint jars. When almost full, slowly pour in enough additional oil to cover relish. Add any remaining relish, tamping the mixture down with fork. Add enough additional oil to cover relish slightly. Cover, and store in a cool spot until you’re ready to give your gift. This will keep at least 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
