Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 cup (125 ml) green olives, pitted (no pimientos)
1/2 cup (125 ml) black olives, pitted (Greek Kalamata or oil-cured, not those awful things in a can)
1/4 cup (60 ml) capers
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
