Tapenade is wonderful as a spread on bread and as a condiment for grilled fish, meat and poultry.

Ingredients


1 cup pitted black olives
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced yellow onion
4 anchovy filets
1 teaspoon capers
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 cup Organic Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

 

Preparation

Place the olives, garlic, onion, anchovies, capers, thyme and cayenne in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the olives are broken down but the mixture is still chunky.
With machine running, pour the olive oil through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream.  Process until the mixture is finely chopped and even in texture but not completely puréed.  Add the lemon juice and stir.  The tapenade keeps, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 week.
