Instructions

Chop the garlic for 5 seconds; scrape the work bowl.  Add the anchovies, olives and capers; pulse 10 times on Chop. Scrape the work bowl.  Add the mustard, lemon juice, herbs and pepper. Process for 15 seconds on Chop; scrape the work bowl.  Process for an additional 15 seconds; scrape the work bowl again, then add the olive oil. Process until a thick paste forms, about 20 to 30 seconds.

Comments

• Next time, I might go light on the lemon, or even leave it out altogether; also, go heavy on the anchovies and herbs
