Tapenade hails from Provence in the sunny south of France and is generally regarded as an olive paste, however the name comes from 'tapeno' meaning 'caper bud' in the Provençal language, so be sure to use good plump salted capers in your tapenade. Tapenade is that fabulous tasting creation that features olives along with other Mediterranean ingredients. I like to think of it as kind of like a Mediterranean alternative to caviar. However, you really do not have to enjoy your tapenade with something else.
Instructions to make A Wine Snack Tapenade:
- Just put all the ingredients in a food processor and process. Chop up the garlic clove beforehand and remove the sprout in the center (this is to not have chunks of garlic in the paste).
- If you are using pine nuts you can just put them in the food processor. If you are using walnuts or other large nuts, chop them up roughly as with the garlic before adding to the food processor.
- Process for a few seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl before processing some more so that everything is evenly incorporated (add black pepper to taste).
- I personally recommend that you stop processing when the tapenade is still a little chunky, rather than turning it into a smooth paste (about the consistency of small grain caviar.)
- Spread on toast or crackers. Combine with cream cheese and tomato to make bruschetta. Use as a flavoring for tomato sauce, dressing or pasta.
I like to think of it as kind of like a Mediterranean alternative to caviar. However, you really do not have to enjoy your tapenade with something else. Tapenade tastes just find all by itself. In a food processor, combine the olives, olive oil, shredded basil, capers, lemon juice, anchovies and smashed garlic and pulse until finely chopped. Scrape down the bowl, season the tapenade with.
