Tapenade Recipe


Tapenade Recipe
Can't decide whether to call this a tapenade or a pesto, given that it's a bit of both but the proportions are all wrong for either! Try it - it works great as a dip, sandwich topping, marinade, etc.

Ingredients
  • 75g pine nuts
  • 250g pitted black olives (I use kalamata)
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 10 fresh basil leaves
  • handful (say, half a cup) fresh italian parsley (curly is OK if you've not got the flat leaf)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 sundried tomatos
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh chilli to taste

Directions
  1. toast the pine nuts in a hot dry pan, adding the garlic for the last 30seconds
  2. add pine nuts to all other ingredients in a processor bowl
  3. process to taste (I leave it lumpy, others prefer smooth!)
  4. enjoy on toasted french bread, ciabatta, or with raw vegetables as a dip

Whatever you call it - it sounds great!
Great post and high 5 to you.


Sorry for flicking between metric and Imperial in my recipes. Hope it ain't too much of a pain. Thanks for your vote!
