Wow!!! Delicious! If you have a palate that loves complex foods, try this one. The only thing I did differently is that I toasted the pecans first. Loved it. Not beautiful but I topped it with a sprinkle of feta cheese and a pinch of parsley. Served it with a light an airy bread that I sliced thin, topped with olive oil and baked until slightly crisp. Yum!

Absolutely delicious! The pecans really added some oommph and texture. Next time I might add some fresh parsley.

This was very good stuff. I'd never had anything like it before, let alone made it at home. The Woman I Love didn't want to try it, so I ate it all by myself in six days. It was enough for two whole loaves of French bread (warmed and sliced, as suggested). This was the first time I'd ever bought either Calamata olives (as the ones I bought were spelled) or Feta cheese. I had several fetas to choose from, and picked the "crumbled traditional" style. It wasn't mentioned in the recipe, but I assumed the olives were to be drained of the brine they came in. I had larger packages, so I measured out the proper net weights of the pecans and olives. The whole recipe made quite a bit; I don't have a proper food processor (yet), and it pretty much filled up my 3-cup "Chef's Chopper". The results were pretty salty, but not too much so. One very minor complaint (echoing several previous reviewers) is that it sure isn't very visually appealing. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Thanks!

Omitted the pecans due to a nut allergy, otherwise concluded that we didn't really need them. This was kind of salty and oily, yet ideal served on mini Melba Toasts as a snack. The toasts just soaked up any run off anyways.

Nice flavors in this, and easy to make too. It makes a bit more than I expected, but that's okay. I'm the only one in the house that likes olives, so it's up to me to eat it, but I think I can manage. I had whole pecans but just pulsed them a bit in the food processor before adding the other ingredients and it was fine. thanks for the recipe!

This was wonderful! Unfortunately, I only realized after I started that my food processor didn't work so I had to chop everything by hand. The flavor was delicious though, and I think I liked the more robust texture better in the end anyway. Served with toast rounds as a thanksgiving appetizer.

This is one of my favorite appetizer recipes. everyone who tries this requests the recipe. LOVE it. I add more garlic and serve it on crackers as well. It helps if you have a palate that enjoys a lot of flavor.

What an innovative idea! I love the pungency and meatiness of the olives, and the garlic gives this delicious spread a robust punch. If you serve it as suggested, the french bread should balance the saltiness of the olives. I can't wait to use it on pizza in place of basil pesto. Thanks for a great idea, Behr Kleine!
