olive tapenade

A piquant sauce with olives, capers and anchovies that's as delicious swirled through pasta as it is topping a bruschetta - a great alternative to pesto

Black olive tapenade

capers

anchovy fillets

olive oil

tsp red wine vinegar

thyme,leaves only (optional)

Blitz all the ingredients except the thyme in a small food processor. Season with black pepper then transfer to a jar or serving dish and scatter over the thyme leaves if using. Keeps in the fridge for 3 days.

The rich flavour of olives, the sweetness of roast capsicum and the creamy tang of feta are a tantalising combination.

Make the olive tapenade: Pulse garlic in the food processor until minced. Add olives, roasted red pepper, parsley, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Pulse until olives are in small pieces. Add salt and pepper to taste. Alternatively, chop all the ingredients well and stir to combine.

Toast the bread if desired then layer with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, olive tapenade, and crumble feta.

Made this sandwich last night for supper and it was awesome! JFYI - I served a green salad tossed in the Liquid Gold vinaigrette from Cookie and Kate's "Love Real Food." When DH and I split a second sandwich, I decided to  lightly toss the greens it the dressing and the lemony hit from the dressing was fantastic!

This olive tapenade recipe is an easy, delicious appetizer! We love to serve it with crackers or baguette. Find additional serving suggestions in the post above.

Olive Tapenade

olives (mix of kalamata and green olives)

sun-dried tomatoes

In a small food processor, combine the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, capers, lemon juice, and garlic.

Pulse until combined but still chunky. Add the fresh herbs and pulse again.

Olive tapenade is a briny and salty spread made from a variety of finely chopped olives, capers and other ingredients. My homemade version is easy-peasy and tastes better than anything you could buy at the grocery store.

green olives (I used manzanilla olives)

kalamata olives (pitted)

tbsp parsley

lemon

Coarsely chop the olives and capers and put them in a medium bowl.

Finely chop the parsley and garlic and add them to the bowl with the olives.

Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the olive mixture, then add the olive oil. Stir well and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until you&#39;re ready to serve. You can refrigerate the tapenade for up to 5 days.

Packed with all the Greek flavor you love, these roasted peppers are too easy to pop in your mouth!
