• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the green olives, capers, fresh parsley, and minced garlic in the bowl of a food processor or blender.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture a few times until the ingredients are coarsely chopped. Avoid over-blending to maintain a slightly chunky texture.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 4

Pulse a few more times to combine all ingredients evenly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.

Step 5

Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil to achieve your desired flavor and consistency.

Step 6

Transfer the relish to a serving bowl or airtight container. It can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to one week for enhanced flavor.
