This dish can be ready in 10 minutes. Mash the olives in a mortar, and then add the rest of the ingredients: garlic clove, thyme, rosemary, capers and add the anchovy fillet last. 

Add a drizzle of Italica olive oil while you mash the ingredients, so the mix becomes thicker. Put it in a small container and then in the fridge. 

Et voilà! An easy healthy homemade snack spread. Quick and nourishing.
