Instructions

  1. Assemble your ingredients, ensuring the Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped parsley, garlic cloves, and capers are at hand. Reserve the sun-dried tomato oil for use in the blending process.
  2. Place all ingredients, including the sun-dried tomato oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse puree, adjusting to your preferred texture.
  3. This olive tapenade serves beautifully over crostini, as a standalone dip, or as a zesty condiment to elevate your dishes. Enjoy immediately or store for future use.

Notes

  • Variations: For an added flavor depth, consider incorporating a few anchovy fillets or a teaspoon of anchovy paste.
  • Texture: The final texture of your tapenade depends on your personal preference - pulse a bit longer for a smoother blend, or keep it chunky with a shorter processing time.
  • Serving Size: This recipe yields approximately 1.5 cups of tapenade, perfect for a gathering or for storing in the fridge for your own use.
  • Sun-dried Tomato Oil: If the sun-dried tomatoes don't come in enough oil, substitute with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Storage: Tapenade can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. The flavors tend to deepen over time.
