Equipment

Ingredients

  • Here is what you will need to make The Best Tasting Tapenade<.
  • pitted Kalamata olives – 1 cup.
  • Capers – 1 ½ tablespoons. Can sub in anchovies for a different taste.Or you can use a combination of the two.
  • Garlic- 2 cloves peeled.
  • Lemon Juice– 1 ½ tablespoons.
  • Fresh if possible herbs- 2 tablespoons total. Suggested herbs include basil, thyme, parsley, oregano and/or rosemary. Use any or as many as desired as long as it totals 2 tablespoons.
  • Olive Oil– 2 tablespoons.
  • Equipment suggestion.
  • To make this you can use a blender Vitamix, or food processor.

Instructions

If using a blender, use the pulse and keep a good eye on the consistency of the tapenade. I prefer a consistency that resembles caviar most often. However, a more chunky consistency is also a good choice for a dip.

  • Finely chop or mince the olives and garlic before you begin processing this recipe.
  • Combine together the Kalamata olives, Capers, and garlic in the food processor/ blender. Then add the lemon juice and olive oil (if using a blender or Vitamix, you may need to add the liquid ingredients first for best results however).
  • Add the herbs and Pulse the ingredients until you obtain a good texture and consistency. However, feel free to add additional olive oil (up to one tablespoon) as needed for a good paste-like consistency.
