Olive Dip? - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups pimento stuffed olives, drained
    1 cup pitted black olives, drained
    6 fluid ounces marinated artichoke hearts, undrained
    1 hot banana pepper
    1 sweet red pepper
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Preparation
    Remove seeds & dice the red pepper.
    Remove seeds & dice the hot banana pepper. We love spicy foods, so I don't discard the seeds.
    In a food processor, gently blend olives and artichoke hearts to a medium chopped consistency.
    Add the hot banana pepper, red pepper, garlic and basil.
    Dizzle olive oil & lemon juice over the mixture.
    Gentley blend to a finely chopped consistency.
    Transfer to a bowl, and refrigerate overnight. It's really important to follow this step, I've learned this from experience.
    Serve with fresh baguette thinly sliced and/or crackers.
