Recently a friend of mine asked me for a tapenade recipe. Tapenade is easy to make and super versatile. It can be used as a dip, for bruschetta, or for a sandwich spread. Often times I will coat a chicken breast with it and roast in the oven. You can use any kind of olives that you want, except canned olives. Make sure that all pits are removed. 

  • 10 Ounces Kalamata Olives (Pitted & Minced)
  • 4 Garlic Cloves (Minced)
  • 3 Tablespoons Capers (Rinsed & Drained)
  • 3 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Italian Parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Lemon Peel
  • 1 Teaspoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Filled Anchovy (Rinsed & Minced)
  1. In a medium-size bowl, combine Kalamata olives, garlic, capers, parsley, anchovies, lemon peel, lemon juice, and pepper.
  2. Add olive oil and mix thoroughly.
  3. Makes 2 Cups
