Ingredients

  • 1 can whole or sliced California green olives 15-ounce,, drained
  • 1 tablespoon capers drained
  • 1 large garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil optional
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley optional
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the olives, capers, garlic cloves, and optional ingredients into a food processor and pulse 8 to 10 times, until it turns into a chunky tapenade.

Notes

  • Drain the olives and capers thoroughly, and dry the parsley well after rinsing. This will prevent a soggy Tapenade.
  • If you like your Tapenade smoother and less chunky, pulse a few more times until you achieve the right consistency. You can add more olive oil if the mixture becomes too dry.
  • If you prefer it less salty, drain the olives and capers and soak them for a few hours in cold water. This will gradually reduce the saltiness out of them.
  • Give this spread another layer of flavor and texture by adding pine nuts into the mix!
  • You can also use other herbs that you like. Basil, mint, and cilantro are good options.
